Description
Prior to this release, two 64-bit ARM ports existed in the JDK.  In order to eliminate duplicate work and allow developers interested in contributing to AARCH64 to focus on a single port, one of the two ports has been removed.

The configure option "--with-cpu-port" is now deprecated and is no longer require to select which port will be built when targeting AARCH64 platforms.
Comments
Removing this release note since it doesn't impact Java users.
