I couldn't quite decipher the spec as to how these are the right
instruction encodings, so I'm going to trust the testing that this is
done right.

This gives the assembler the opportunity to generate a XZR register
access if the value is zero. See:

Well, short of having publicly available documentation, or force
everyone to upgrade their binutils to deal be able to cope with the new
sysregs, I don't know what else to do. I'm open to suggestions, though.

If you have access to the spec, you have to play a substitution game
between the canonical encoding of the register accessed, and the
register used. For example:
SPSR_EL1 (3, 0, 4, 0, 0) -> SPSR_EL12 (3, 5, 4, 0, 0)
In practice, only Op1 changes.

I don't know why I didn't find this.
So "Integer constant zero " means, this may be zero. Right.

I wasn't suggesting you do anything different, I just put the stupid
comment there so you knew that I actually checked the values and so that
I didn't forget that I did, and ended up doing it again if I look at
this later...
