i work at arm and i did this work there so i know the background.

there is not much published about the algorithms (although there aren't
many new ideas in the code, it's mostly about optimizing for modern cpus),
but i plan to at least put the polynomial and lookup table generation
code in that repo.

the polynomial coefficients were generated with the sollya tool from
inria.
