[Bug 2057776] Re: ubuntu-cpc project remove armhf vm images until grub2 armhf fixes in place

No such thing.  There are no arm devices that use BIOS as a boot
protocol.  There is only UEFI.

And these are cloud images, so booting on hardware (such as Raspi)
should be out of scope.

Also we do not support armhf on the RasPi in noble.

Title:
  ubuntu-cpc project remove armhf vm images until grub2 armhf fixes in
  place

Status in livecd-rootfs package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  grub-efi-arm and grub-efi-arm-bin are not currently installable for
  armhf images. This leads  to build failures for  in the disk-image-
  uefi.binary in the ubuntu-cpc image.

  the future of UEFI booting armhf cloud images is currently in
  question, with possibilities including:

  1. removing VM images entirely for armhf (due to lack of hardware support)
  2. keeping a Bios booting VM available for armhf (need to check booting on appropriate devices, such as an older Raspberry Pi)
  3. fixing grub-efi-arm and grub-efi-arm-bin and re-enabling UEFI booting armhf cloud images.

  In the short term, removing armhf from the list of supported
  architectures results in skipping the hook.

  ### Testing

  The required change must be tested with a Launchpad built livecd-
  rootfs.

  ### NOTE ###

  This is not for SRU, only noble forward at this time.
