The 64-bit version of ARM Debian works, but as mentioned lacks a few
things including GPU acceleration.

I'm using a half-way-house, running the 64-bit kernel but keeping the
32-bit Raspbain userland. The raspbian-nspawn package then lets me
create a 64-bit container and run 64-bit applications when I need them.
