SVE Support ([VIRT-198]) ========================

- traced the svetest failure from Naoki @ Naist to SVE ABI issue with dynamic linker - rth has posted [a fix for glibc] and a bug raised for armclang w.r.t. noplt - looking into Nils's SVE enabled Test_simd from Grid failure - __attribute__((noinline)) makes it go away, so subtle code difference - looking through side-by-side traces to find where it went wrong
