Title:
  Make RPi.GPIO work on arm64

Status in rpi.gpio package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The current release of RPi.GPIO (0.63) expects to find hardware
  revision information under /proc/cpuinfo. This exists under armhf
  kernels, but not under arm64 kernels. By contrast, both kernels now
  provide revision information under /proc/device-
  tree/system/linux,revision.

  A patched version of RPi.GPIO 0.65 is available from
  https://launchpad.net/~waveform/+archive/ubuntu/pkg/+packages which
  preferentially reads revision information from this source (falling
  back to /proc/cpuinfo to support older kernels). 0.65 was used as this
  also fixes a couple of nasty PWM bugs, including a memory leak.
