New description:

 x265 compiles for Apple Silicon but there is a x265 patch for enabling the
 fast NEON intrinsics.

 At the following URL, it says: "The FFmpeg file for Apple Silicon includes
 the x265 NEON patch. This makes the encoding speed of x265 much faster. "

 Can we enable this on the FFMPEG/X265 port MacPorts uses?

 ps: x265's Neon ASM is all in gas format so might work if compiled with
 gcc, doesn't work with clang, nasm doesn't get used for the arm ASM and
 doesn't work if you force it to use nasm.
