ARM a55 micro-architecture (with dot product instructions), similar to a53, is widely used as little cores in big.Little configurations. A55 has a narrower memory load/store hardware, where a 128b load instruction would block the pipeline for 2 whole cycles, during which no other instructions can be executed. On the other hand, a 64b load instruction can be duo issued with many other instructions. This change adds a Symmetric QGEMM kernel for a55 micro-architecture, where we replace ldr q4,[x1],#16 with ldr d4,[x1],#8 ldr x11,[x1],#8 ins v4.d[1],x11 so that we can try to hide the memory load cycles behind computing cycles in the kernel.
