Description

Right now, the Iced disassembler only supports x86/amd64. It would be nice if we could support arm and arm64 as well because they are officially supported by .NET Core.

Research direction
Investigate the existing x86/amd64 support in the Iced disassembler (likely in the ILSpy.ReadyToRun module). Understand how Iced models instructions and how to add support for ARM and ARM64. Look for any existing community discussions or linked forks that attempt this. The issue is open from 2020, so check for any recent progress in the Iced library itself.
