The following are obsoleted in ARMv8:

 A32 SWP and SWPB instructions.

 Jazelle (only trivial implementations are supported).

 VFP short vectors and asynchronous bounces.

 /Fast Context Switch Extension (FCSE)/.

None of these are generated for v7-a or indeed earlier by GCC by a C
program without inline assembler.
