 Therefore, the recommended and only supported way of using NEON/VFP in the

+Drivers must be careful to balance their overall changes to the usage

+has returned -- say from within a work-queue routine -- provided they

 Drivers using the async routines are responsible for their own
 synchronization and mutual exclusion.
