Assuming we'll poke the toolchain folk, let's consider alternative ways
around this in the mean time.

Is there anything akin to push/pop versions of .arch directitves that we
can use around the BTI instructions specifically?

... or could we encode the BTI instructions with a .inst, and wrap those
in macros so that GAS won't complain (like we do for mrs_s and friends)?

... does asking GCC to use BTI for C code make the default arch v8.5 for
inline asm, or does it do something special to allow BTI instructions in
specific locations?

Thanks,
Mark.
