I cannot find any optimizations guides for Ampere eMAG, ThunderX/ThunderX2 and HiSilicon TSV110 to check what latencies and throughput ld4/ldpq have on them. I appreciate if someone helps with this. I don't expect non-Cortex implementations differ much from Cortex.

Thank you for the feedback. It helped me to find how files can be attached to PR. Usually you look for a clip on a panel. Here it is a little bit unusual. :) ��
