Generic (non-NEON) ARM support has not been removed in liborc, it has
been disabled for the time being. The code is still there for someone to
fix/enhance. I don't know if it's true that it wouldn't provide anything
useful, it certainly did help with e.g. videotestsrc performance. As I
understand it, the problem of the non-NEON ARM backend is that it
doesn't provide enough orc opcode coverage to be confident in the
backend as a whole.
