+Subject: [PATCH] libretro-common: Compiling tune-up for ARM architectures. -
+ Fixes a mismatched register warning in arm_enable_runfast_mode() when
+ compiling for AArch64. - Fix compiling check_arm_cpu_feature() on non-ARM
+ architectures by being super explicit and pedantic about checking for
+ __ARM_ARCH; none of this compiler-assumes-a-macro-equals-zero-if-undefined
+ stuff.
