+<ul>
+
+<li>Preliminary support for processors, such as the Cortex-A8 and Cortex-A9,
+that implement version v7-A of the ARM architecture.  The ARM backend now
+supports both the Thumb2 and Advanced SIMD (Neon) instruction sets. The
+AAPCS-VFP "hard float" calling conventions are also supported with the
+<tt>-float-abi=hard</tt> flag. These features are still somewhat experimental
+and subject to change. The Neon intrinsics, in particular, may change in future
+releases of LLVM.
