Description

@honglh added optimized kernels for ARM32 in #432. It would be great if we could add support for bitpacked activations to them to match the AArch64 optimized bgemm kernels.

Research direction

Start by reading the ARM32 optimized kernels introduced in #432 and compare them with the AArch64 optimized bgemm kernels. Done means the ARM32 kernels support bitpacked activations with behavior matching the AArch64 kernels.
