With apple tools, the linker fails with errors like these, if the
offset is negative:
ld: in section __TEXT,__text reloc 8: symbol index out of range for architecture arm64

The ISB (instruction synchronization barrier) might be too heavy for
START/STOPTIMER use but should be more accurate in checkasm where the
timing overhead is subtracted.
Both gnu as and clang treat lines starting with '#' as comments if they
aren't consumed by the C-style preprocessor.
Using '//' does not work with clang since comments are removed before
macro expansion.
This fixes building in PIC mode with gas. The examples in the gas
manual showed using a # here even though gas itself actually didn't
support that syntax (and the gas test suite only tests it without
the extra hash sign).

Ported from arm NEON and added vector_dmul_scalar.
Functions between 1.5 and 5 times faster than the C implementations
using Apple's clang-503.0.19 on A7.
NEON and VFP are currently mandatory for all ARMv8 profiles. Both are
handled as extensions as far as cpuflags are concerned. This is
consistent with handling x86_64 which always has SSE2, but still
handles it as an extension.
