Is there any 64bit64-bit kernel for Raspberry Pi 3? I looked around and from sources I check official page and following kernels are listed there:

1) NOOBS - this is installer, no OS by itself, right? 2) Rasbian - just one download, so I assume 32 bit compatible with all version of Pi 3) Ubuntu MATE - aarch32 (ARMv7) 4) Ubuntu Ubuntu Core - seems like 32bit only 5) OSMC - same downloads for "Raspberry Pi 2 / 3", so 32 bit 6) LibreELEC - combined build for 2&3, so 32 bit only 7) PiNet - dunno what this is, but doubt 64 bit 8) RISC OS - doesn't seem like linux 9) Weather Station - yeah, just no 
  1. NOOBS - this is installer, no OS by itself, right?
  2. Rapsbian - just one download, so I assume 32 bit compatible with all version of Pi
  3. Ubuntu MATE - aarch32 (ARMv7)
  4. Ubuntu Ubuntu Core - seems like 32bit only
  5. OSMC - same downloads for "Raspberry Pi 2 / 3", so 32 bit
  6. LibreELEC - combined build for 2&3, so 32 bit only
  7. PiNet - dunno what this is, but doubt 64 bit
  8. RISC OS - doesn't seem like linux
  9. Weather Station - yeah, just no

So it doesn't seem that there is official 64bit kernel available? Is there any unofficial one? Can I just compile one and expect it to work (I guess not but doesn't hurt to ask..)? Does anyone at least work on it? I would love to have access to native 64bit64-bit numbers.

On other note, how big difference is between armv7 and armv8? Gentoo offers stage 3 tarballs for armv7. Will that work on Pi 3 which is armv8?
