TBH given the indeterminate existance of a userbase I'm not sure it's
even worth it - they're for v8.2 instructions and there's arguments
being encoded in there so I'd be more inclined to do the same as SVE and
shove some dependencies in there for now rather than make those macros
even longer.  I'd be astonished if there were anyone using a toolchain
old enough to have the issue with hardware new enough to be impacted,
the fact that we didn't hear about it thus far suggests that there isn't.
