Tim,

Right now, the only VOLK proto-kernels optimized for ARM are using
Orc. So yes, right now, that's the only possible optimization you're
going to get. The entire point of VOLK is, of course, to allow us to
extend the kernel support for different devices. So we need people to
develop proto-kernels for NEON to extend this support.
