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.
