A general comment: we refer to the port as "AArch64", and typically use
"aarch64: ..." in commit message headers.

I've pushed a further gas/NEWS update on top of your already committed patch 6,
to match the change on the release branch.  Aside from the aforementioned
naming issues and my suggested error message improvement, the remainder of this
series looks good to me (although I can't formally approve anything).

(If/when this is merged, Srinath can rebase his other fixes on top of this
series.)
