[ACTIVITY] 26th - 30th March

[Andrew Stubbs]

Continued work on neon 64-bit correctness. This is really dragging out 
now. I had hoped to have had it fixed by now, but subtle bugs are subtle.

The 16-bit opcodes patch is now committed both upstream and in Linaro 
GCC 4.7, however, so that's some progress at least.

Posted benchmark results for the the 64-bit shifts in core registers. 
The results are inconclusive: the benchmark runs are too noisy.
