 I have booted it at least halfway on a netcup.de instance:

 However, due to the performance hit that I expect this to have even if
 it would boot completely (for virtualization on a LE host) I won't push
 this any further (and I have not seen any virtualization providers that
 offer aarch64 VPS on a big endian host).
