Hi,

Here is patch that consolidates AArch64 and ARM Intrinsics sections in
extend.texi into one ACLE section to avoid information repetition and adds
reference to the ARM C Language Extension spec on infocenter.arm.com.


This seems to lose the information about which extensions are supported by
GCC (given that not all of ACLE is supported; e.g. arm_acle.h has only the
CRC intrinsics, while __fp16 isn't supported for AArch64 and the support
for ARM corresponds to an older version of the specification).

If I mention in a couple of sentences the level of ACLE support there isin GCC currently, this section will need to be updated every time thereis an improvement in ACLE support - I guess we'll just have to rememberto remove parts of this section as we do that.


Thanks for the review, I'll respin the patch.

Thanks,
Tejas.
