I'm familiar with the issue of SF vs HF as are many of the people who've
been working on ARM for a long time. But perhaps for the benefit of
those who aren't too familiar with why the change is needed and what
advnatanges it would bring, plus the interaction with big endian, can
someone do an outline of the issue? I don't think I'm personally the
best person to prepare such a thing.
