Yeah, if/when it goes in for AArch32 it ought to go in the docs.

The option means 'only use the general registers', so both fp and neon would be 
disabled.

I haven't thought through what this means on the AArch32 side, or whether it 
amounts to -mfloat-abi soft. Your question hints that NEON is still available 
with softfloat - which, given that there are integer NEON operations, would 
make sense.

Bernie
