Research direction
Start by locating the SM4 implementation and the vsm4* intrinsics, then read how the neon and sm4 target features are currently gated. Check the existing backend and feature-specific tests or build checks before making changes. Done means ARM targets with both required features use the accelerated backend while other targets retain the existing implementation.
