I was ready to ask the same question given how large the series is :-)

For ARM NEON instructions (the ARM SIMD), my experience is that ffmpeg
can help test some instructions as it contains assembly routines that use
instructions no compiler generates.  And it looks like ffmpeg has many
Altivec routines.  Of course, it's not enough, but it's a good start.
