[RFC PATCH 0/5] arm64: Prepare instruction decoder for objtool

[Julien Thierry]

To support arm64, objtool will need to be able to decode aarch64
instructions. This patch series adds some instruction definitions needed
by objtool and moves out encoding/decoding functionalities that do not
rely on kernel code in order.

I'll post the start of the arm64 objtool backend shortly.

Thanks,

Julien
