I checked:
 - VLC modules are fine (a fix was needed for one non-merged filter)
 - VLC contribs that have NEON in grep
   - GnuTLS uses libneon (not related to NEON ;) )
   - postproc does not have any NEON code
   - png and orc (for schroedinger) seem to have the same NEON runtime detection
     on __linux__
   - speex resampler has no runtime detection, but this module is not
     important, IMVHO
   - mpeg2 does not have any auto-detection but flags passing that seem
     correct
   - libavcodec.

libavcodec is complex, since we use dsp_mask, which is unused those
days. av_set_cpu_flags_mask should be used, probably.

Best regards,
