[PD] do we need externals for ARMv8 in raspberry pi 3 and 4?

[Chris Clepper]

The major difference for ArmV8 is the 64 bit address space, but the chips
are 100% compatible with v7 and before.  The only potential benefit of v8
for Pd would be the NEON instructions which are 128 bit wide vs 64 on v7.
Of course someone would have to write that NEON code first...
