+* arm64:
+
+  - Inaccuracies resulting from double-rounding in the simulation of
+    floating-point multiply-add/subtract instructions have been fixed.  These
+    should now behave exactly as the hardware does.
+
+  - Partial support for the ARM v8.2 instruction set.  v8.2 support work is
+    ongoing.  Support for the half-word variants of at least the following
+    instructions has been added:
+       FABS <Hd>, <Hn>
