Yea big-little might confuse things indeed. Though the performance
difference between the NEON code and the scalar code is not that huge,
and I suspect that big-little machines might benefit from
unconditionally using the scalar code, given that sometimes they might
wind up doing things on the little cores.

Eric - what did you guys wind up doing on Android with the fast scalar
implementation?
