[PATCH 0/2] arm64: Drop more workarounds after binutils bump

Now that binutils 2.30 is our base-line, drop a couple of annoying
workarounds that we have been carrying for some time (I have some
history with the .inst one).

We *could* also start dropping some of the SVE macros now that gas is
known to support it, but I'm not convinced we want to go there yet.

  arm64: Restore UL() use in alternative macros after binutils bump
