ARMv8 backwards compatibility with ARMv7

Hi there,

I have been going through a lot of ARMv8 documents, and I have a very basic question:

-Can I take a Linux Kernel, compiled for a ARMv7 device, and run it on an ARMv8 device in Aarch32 execution mode?

( Lets assume that the two SOCs are identical apart from the CPU cores )

Thanks
