Well, it isn't exactly that.  You are setting all lanes from a scalar.
I'd rather be able to say:

   input0 = vdupq_nn_s32(&parms[0]);
   input1 = vdupq_nn_s32(&parms[4]);

Something like that, which lets us delete all the rest of the lane-set
code.  But it seems it doesn't exist.

Regardless, I think either patch should work (either using the 'all
lanes' setting you have or the static variable).  I have no preference
on it - it's up to you (or someone else) to say which is preferred.  I
guess your version could be preferable since there's no static to need
to "explain" :)
