18 * If you are affected by the BUILD_BUG below, it probably means that you are
19 * using NEON code /and/ calling the kernel_neon_begin() function from the same
20 * compilation unit. To prevent issues that may arise from GCC reordering or
21 * generating(1) NEON instructions outside of these begin/end functions, the
22 * only supported way of using NEON code in the kernel is by isolating it in a
23 * separate compilation unit, and calling it from another unit from inside a
24 * kernel_neon_begin/kernel_neon_end pair.
26 * (1) Current GCC (4.7) might generate NEON instructions at O3 level if
