[Qemu-devel] [PULL 40/45] target/arm: Promote consecutive memory ops for aa32

[Peter Maydell]

From: Richard Henderson <address@hidden>

For a sequence of loads or stores from a single register,
little-endian operations can be promoted to an 8-byte op.
This can reduce the number of operations by a factor of 8.
