> Patch is adding `armv9-a` to -march in Arm GAS.
> 
> This patch also updates:
> 	+ New value of Tag_CPU_arch EABI attribute (22) is added, see [0].
> 	+ Updated missing from code Tag_CPU_arch EABI attributes for
> 	  "Arm v8.1-A", "Arm v8.2-A" and "Arm v8.3-A" entries, see [0].
> 	+ New test `armv9-a_arch.d` to demonstrate that (22) is recognised
> 	  by readelf.
> 	+ Commit [1] extends arm_feature_set.core array. A follow up
> change
> 	  is done to e.g., initialize (with 0s) or other values existing
> 	  ARM_FEATURE_x macros. New macro ARM_FEATURE_ALL is added
> set all
> 	  fields of arm_feature_set.core array.
> 	+ Various changes are made to align asserts with new V9 arch.
> 	+ Updated how we combine archs 'v4t_plus_v6_m' as this
> mechanism
> 	must handle new Armv9 as well.
