[PATCH v2 0/4] target/arm vector improvements

[Richard Henderson]

Changes for v2:

* Rename function arguments as requested by ajb.
* Minor optimization in helper_gvec_pmul_b.

Original blurb:

The first patch has been seen before.

  https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1115039/

It had a bug and I didn't fix it right away and then forgot.
Fixed now; I had mixed up the operand ordering for aarch32.

The next 3 are something that I noticed while doing other stuff.

In particular, pmull is used heavily during https transfers.
While cloning a repository, the old code peaks at 27% of the
total runtime, as measured by perf top.  The new code does
not quite reach 3% repeating the same clone.

In addition, the new helper functions are in the form that
will be required for the implementation of SVE2.
