Hi Michael,

Thanks for the comments.

The A32 implementation uses "movlo", a conditional move instruction. My
reading of section 3.2 Conditional Instructions of the ARMv8 ISA overview [1]
and other documentation has led me to believe conditional move instructions as
such are not available in A64, hence the choice of "cset".
