Right. The fact that as prints a warning for those instructions makes sense
given that we are telling it we want to run on *all* ARM architectures,
and that ARMv8 has deprecated them officially.

Of course, what is bogus about this is the "NULL" part rather than printing
the text that was meant to come out to explain the situation.  I don't
know how to report that bug other than what I tried before, but if it gets
fixed by printing the right text, we will still want to build a kernel
without getting any warnings.
