Add x64AlpineLinux for Dragonwell 11

[joeyleeeeeee97]

We plan to add x64AlpineLinux and aarch64AlpineLinux on Dragonwell 11. (Now AdoptOpenJDK is building x64AlpineLinux hotspot in jdk16 and jdk17)

@joeyleeeeeee97 Building requires testing. Can you please open a machine request over at https://github.com/AdoptOpenJDK/openjdk-infrastructure? AFAIK we have one machine with static containers for x64. Two containers run Alpine, so they can be reused. For aarch64, nothing is available, especially with your special HW requirements.

only x64AlpineLinux supported now.

@joeyleeeeeee97 Do you know whether the Ampere Altra has the hardware capabilities you require?

@aahlenst I can confirm that it does :-) java -version is ok on one of the Altras which I've got as part of adoptium/infrastructure#2078 :-)

The Alpine Linux team is in the process of porting Alpine to the Ampere Altra arm64 servers, targeting the 3.13 release. This is new work (as of today?). @ncopa has been leading the way there.

Is this issue tracking aarch64AlpineLinux, i.e. arm64 architecture for Alpine or should I open a separate feature request for that?

Separate, this issue is with regards to DragonWell binaries from AliBaba. Your request is actually best placed upstream at OpenjDK but would require engineers from one or multiple vendors to commit to the port.
