While we resolve how we're going to add the tests to the advsimd-intrinsics
suite, we should keep in mind that this fix needs to go to the release
branches too.

To make backporting easier, could you please write a very simple
standalone test that exposes this bug, and submit this patch with just
that simple test? I've already OKed the functional part of this patch, and
I'm happy to pre-approve a simple testcase.

With that committed to trunk, this needs to go to all active release
branches please.

We can then figure out how best to add support for these intrinsics to
the full testsuite on trunk, as I think the proposals here would not make
a good candidate for back-porting.

Thanks,
James
