You are looking at outdated information. Mainline Linux supports ARM just fine.

The current version of LITMUS^RT should work on ARM devices. The syscall definitions etc. are all in place. However, ARM systems typically require more skill to everything working than x86 hosts, and LITMUS^RT receives much less testing on ARM than on x86, so if something doesn’t work as expected be prepared to spend some time debugging.
