Linux 5.14 ARM64 Preps For When Not All The CPU Cores Support 32-bit Execution - Phoronix
The 64-bit ARM architecture changes were submitted this week for the ongoing Linux 5.14.
One of the recent ARM64/AArch64 themes has been making kernel preparations for upcoming platforms where not all of the CPU cores may support 32-bit execution but limited to just 64-bit execution. Some of those kernel changes are in place for Linux 5.14 while some other pieces haven't yet landed.

Intel Overhauls & Replaces Its RDMA Linux Driver - Phoronix
Intel has wrapped up a 3+ year effort to overhaul and replace its existing RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access) driver. With Linux 5.14 is their shiny new "IRDMA" driver while their former driver is being immediately removed.
Linux 5.14 is landing Intel's replacement RDMA driver that is a complete rewrite of their older driver and continues supporting the older hardware as well as better supporting new/future hardware. Intel has been working on this new unified Ethernet Protocol Driver for RDMA (named the "irdma" driver) for X722 iWARP hardware as well as newer E810 hardware where the RDMA support isn't in place with their current (now prior) mainline driver. The IRDMA driver is a replacement to the existing i40iw kernel module that is being stripped from the kernel tree.
