Hmm, this is going to affect arch/arm/ much more heavily than arch/arm64.
.arch_extension is used for virt, mp and sec over there, and it may be
tricky to isolate the actual instruction usage (at least, virt looks
lost in kvm/arm.c).

Why can't gas have an option to accept all instruction encodings that it
knows about, inspite of any .arch directives?
