Holiday [3/10]

Post-indexed addressing for NEON on Aarch64 - TCWG-430 [3/10]
* needs much more work than for ARM

Revisited apparent NEON scheduling problem in libvpx - TCWG-429 [2/10]
* it transpires that this was an incorrect analysis
* the assembler code didn't conform to the ABI
* upstream has now fixed this

Received review for division patch - TCWG-293 [2/10]
* needs a rewrite

Fixing performance bugs in lowlevellock - TCWG-435 [4/10]
* Initial patch for lowlevellock.h largely done, awaiting an aarch64 test run
* About 1/2 of the lowlevellock.h's remain post-patch, need to ask
some questions about them
cortex-strings memset - TCWG-156 [1/10]
* Fixed an alternative implementation, a little more benchmarking investigation
cbuild benchmarking branch [1/10]
* Hunting for correct benchmark source, added a little more error checking

Meetings/mail/etc [2/10]

More of the same -
* Post lowlevellock.h patch and ask some questions
* Finish exploring memset alternatives and work out how to benchmark them
* Carry on with cbuild benchmarking branch
