+<li>Preliminary support for processors, such as the Cortex-A8 and Cortex-A9,
+that implement version 7 of the ARM architecture.  The ARM backend now
+supports both the Thumb2 and Advanced SIMD (Neon) instruction sets.
+These features are still somewhat experimental and subject to change.
+The Neon intrinsics, in particular, may change in future releases of LLVM.

+<li>Support for the Advanced SIMD (Neon) instruction set is still incomplete
+and not well tested.  Some features may not work at all, and the code quality
+may be poor in some cases.</li>
 <li>Thumb mode works only on ARMv6 or higher processors. On sub-ARMv6
 processors, thumb programs can crash or produce wrong
 results (<a href="http://llvm.org/PR1388">PR1388</a>).</li>
