Description

Right now they are just under experimental, but it should not be too tricky to do multi-arch image (just a couple of bits differ, mostly filename args).

Also for both ARM and 86 images we should try to put the kernel bin **in the same location** because right now that is another thing you need to remember to change when you use a different arch and it is very annoying.

Research direction

Start by locating the image build arguments and kernel binary path used by the ARM and x86 image flows, then compare their architecture-specific filename handling. Done means both architectures build as multi-arch images and use the same kernel location, without requiring an architecture-specific path change.
