I agree with lowercase.  It's what we use most pervasively, and I've
asked people to lowercase messages in review in the past.  The fewer
(bad) examples people can crib from, the better.  So thanks for doing this.

I think all those are fine to capitalize.

(If we lowercased arm, why not neon?)

Likewise, I think ABI, GDB, MI, CLI, PowerPC, LZMA, UST, all lowercased
at least once in the patch, sometimes inconsistently, can/should remain uppercase.
