Subject: aarch64: Remove B16B16, SVE2p1 and SME2p1
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d816fda3cbd83ff5c2700bf5f001d59fcaf75985;p=thirdparty%2Fbinutils-gdb.git

aarch64: Remove B16B16, SVE2p1 and SME2p1

Support for these extensions is broken and incomplete in the 2.42
branch, with a number of syntax and opcode bugs.  This patch removes the
flags and documentation, to avoid any further suggestion that this
extension is fully and correctly supported.
