 This will take quite some time; the first thing to do is a proof of
 concept implementation in the toolchain, and then getting this added to
 the ARM ABI before it ships.  Linaro intends to do this later this
 year, but work didn't start yet.  These are our notes on the work to be
 done:

 we also plan to do a gold implementation, but that is more of a nice to
 have:
