    ARMv7: Add Advanced SIMD (NEON) extension support · f62163c5
    Catalin Marinas authored
    This patch enables the use of the Advanced SIMD (NEON) extension on
    ARMv7. The NEON technology is a 64/128-bit hybrid SIMD architecture
    for accelerating the performance of multimedia and signal processing
    applications. The extension shares the registers with the VFP unit and
    enabling/disabling and saving/restoring follow the same rules. In
    addition, there are instructions that do not have the appropriate CP
    number encoded, the checks being made in the call_fpe function.
