Hi Yves.  This is an optimisation that discourages GCC from using
certain NEON instructions that are expensive on the A8 and better done
through core registers.  It doesn't discourage NEON in general, nor
does it mean we have a policy of discouraging NEON on that core.

Hope that answers your question,
