It's here:

<http://git.linaro.org/openembedded/meta-linaro.git/tree/meta-ilp32/conf/machine/include/arm64/arch-armv8.inc>

I'm not clear about how the system finds these include files. Is there a way to store this file, or the same file under a different name, somewhere in my own layer? I normally treat the rest of the metadata as read-only.
