go1.2

In contrast to the amd64 port, the arm port of the Go assembler does not recognize SIMD
instructions ("V…") or vector registers (D or Q).

It would be useful for us (we are writing custom speedups for a project using Intel SSE,
and would care to do the same for ARM), but it would also be useful for the Go library
itself if the library functions which have SIMD speedups in xxx_amd64.s had analogous
speedups in xxx_arm.s

Thank you,

Byron Rakitzis.
