Now that the build time is much smaller, what about enabling it on more
architectures? The diff below would enable it on all archs, including
powerpc64 and riscv64 (should be enabled soonish).

I won't argue over the usefulness of this port on said architectures
but all the rust archs have drm drivers for GPU acceleration so why not?

ok?
