ARMv8 support patch submission about onetbb HOT 2 CLOSED

@siddhesh , thank you for contribution and sorry for a long responce.

We have considered your patch and your idea is worth contributing. However, it looks like your idea can be applied for armv7a as well (as it also has the yield instruction), so we would prefer to have all arm-related code in one file. In addition, it will be easier to extend for further arm generations. Could you merge the newly added file into gcc_armv7.h (perhaps renamed to gcc_arm.h) using gcc_generic.h for all generations beside armv7a (for which you keep the current one) and implementing __TBB_Pause with your approach?

I would also recommend to open a pull request on github with your patch to simplify the communication process (we can add comments bound to the code).

Thanks for your feedback. I'll rework my patch and send it to you shortly. A PR on github actually works much better for me too, I just assumed y'all preferred the traditional route since that's the documented method on the website :)

I'll close this issue and open a PR when I have the patch. Thanks!
