There is no ARMv8 support for the raspberry pi3 as far as I know,
there are some efforts to try and get its bootloader (?) and display
(?) which are 32bit only, mapped in - but most of those efforts seem
to have stalled. My info might be a bit dated now, but I've not seen
much change in that space since May this year.

The RaspberryPi foundation folks have publicly stated that while they
wont stop community doing the engineering to get the work done to boot
a 64bit distro, they are not going to support the effort themselves
nor actually participate in anyway.

regards,
