Thanks. The AArch64 ACLE CRC32 intrinsics were introduced in 4.9, so its 
not new in 5.0 - https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.9/changes.html. But we've 
improved AArch64 NEON Intrinsics in 5.0 significantly which deserves a 
mention. I'll do that in a separate patch.

Revised patch to fix extend.texi for ACLE attached. OK for trunk?

Thanks,
Tejas.
