Hi Ard,

I trust you on the algorithm but some minor issues below.

Is it the compiler or the assembler that we need to support this? I
think it's sufficient to only check the latter.

I'd also move it to the ARMv8.2 section.

The .arch here may confuse the compiler/assembler since it overrides any
other .arch. I think this diff on top would do but I haven't extensively
tested it. I can fold it in if you give it a try:
