Yes and no. This is an idiom used in several places in neon.md. They 
are the same, but only one or other is enabled at the same time (see 
the "arch" attribute) so while both 'w' and 'r' options are always 
available, the order of preference is different.

If you have a better way of achieving this goal, then I'm eager to hear 
it.

FYI, the reason is that Cortex-A8 supports NEON, but the cost of 
transferring values between the register files is prohibitively high so 
64-bit NEON operations are discouraged unless the values are already in 
NEON, or core register pressure makes it more worthwhile.
