Currently, code in this directory is written for arm cortex-a9.

For efficient loads and stores, use ldmia, stmia and friends. Can do
two loads or stores per cycle with 8-byte aligned addresses, or three
loads or stores in two cycles, regardless of alignment.

12 usable registers (if we exclude r9).

ABI gnueabi(hf) (not depending on the floating point conventions)
