Indeed, the real work was done for iOS. I'm just piggy-backing.

Update:

`intel-intrinsics` now passes unittests on AArch64. There are 
about 20 intrinsics that will need further optimization, for 
example _mm_cvtps_epi32() or _mm_avg_epi16(). Thanks to LLVM a 
lot of intrinsics written for x86 are already optimal on ARM.
