Patch 3/3 removes the ML to generate Neon intrinsics and the
documentation and updates the comments in the files to show that these
are now hand crafted rather than auto-generated. We've had these for
many years now and I think it's time we got rid of this. Not everyone
groks ML and it doesn't help that only one or 2 folks can actually do
this properly everytime. Instead of having these bottlenecks and given
the fact that the intrinsics are pretty stable now, there's no point in
retaining the generator interface. I'd rather get rid of them. The only
bit left is neon-schedgen.ml, neon.ml and neon-testgen.ml. I think we
can safely remove neon-testgen.ml once Christophe's testsuite is done
and we'll probably just have to carry neon-schedgen.ml / neon.ml as it
still generates the neon descriptions for both a8 and a9.
James just pointed out that (my memory was wrong or I must have been
looking in the wrong directory) he killed neon-schedgen.ml last year. So
neon.ml can go as well once neon-testgen.ml dies.
