ARM64 and whatever you refer to in Kernel 4.4 are generally not related to the A64 SoC here. Kernel 4.4 or any other mainline Kernel for that matter will not boot (not even close) on A64 no matter what distribution until someone went through a possibly lengthy mainlining process or has forward ported the Kernel 3.10 patch set as provided by Allwinner as an intermediate process. Also note that before the Kernel actually could boot, the same thing is required for U-Boot.
