Hello Andre,

I didn't checked before, I simply follow armv7a example and add the new 
features.
But it seams that you're right, all armv8a CPU support both vfp 
versions, so, I will remove armv8a-vfpv3 tune and keep just vfpv4 one.

Yes, against jethro branch. That's why I didn't saw this fix and also 
didn't saw the arch-armv7ve.inc file.
How do I proceed if I want to have armv8a support in jethro? Should I 
checkout the master branch and add my changes there and resend the patch 
with the note to be backported to jethro?
But this patch (with the fix for armv7a) and the one that add 
arch-armv7ve.inc will be back-ported to jethro too, or how is the process?

Ok, but armv7ve include file is not in jethro. Only in master.

Thanks,
