I'm really excited to see this merged in! Props on all involved

question 1: Will this be included in the upcoming 7.8 release?

question 2: I see that some of the useful (albeit specialized) SSE primops aren't included, though it looks like adding them (at least for platforms that support them)
would be largely mechanical..... If adding those primops is something GHC HQ would welcome (ignoring the sorting out the whole supporting SSE2 vs full AVX discussion), I'm more than happy to spend some time turning the crank to add those primops.

thanks

Thanks for the confirmation. I followed the instructions for building
the Raspberry Pi cross GHC and tested the simd branch before I merged,
but I'm glad to know I didn't break anything obvious for you either!
