[PATCH] AArch64: Implement big endian bit-conversion for NEON types

[James Molloy]

Hi Christian,

But your patch *does* implement vector-to-vector conversions. Just for 128-bit vectors. Line 6600 to line 6634.

A vector-to-vector bitcast can exist in IR. Use cases for that aren't important - it's allowed and should be handled.

Cheers,

James
