Re: [RFA/ARM][Patch 04/05]: STRD generation instead of PUSH in A15 ARM prologue.

How different is this from the thumb2 version you sent out in Patch 03/05 ?

Comment above loop.

Not sure I completely follow this change yet.

Hmmm the question remains if we want to put these into ldmstm.md since
it was theoretically
auto-generated from ldmstm.ml. If this has to be marked to be separate
then I'd like
to regenerate ldmstm.md from ldmstm.ml and differentiate between the
bits that can be auto-generated
and the bits that have been added since.

Otherwise OK.
