Re: [PATCH] aarch64: add HXT Phecda core memory operation ifuncs

I am ambivalent about the legal significance since although the number of lines of the change is small it could be argued as being a significant feature addition given that it chooses optimal routines for a specific processor core and implicitly provides information about the Phecda microarchitecture.  As such, it is borderline newsworthy, speaking of which, maybe it needs a NEWS entry like so:

  * Improved string routine performance for the Aarch64 HXT Phecda core.

To be clear, I am perfectly OK with committing the patch for Hongbo if it is consensus that the LOC test is sufficient for legal significance.
