Hi Jiong,

Thanks for your comments. If it's a warning that should be issued, then 
operand_general_constraint_met_p in libopcodes probably isn't the place 
to be warning from, and better to handle it in md_assemble after the 
operands have already been parsed.

I added some warnings about unpredictable writebacks as well. I realize 
there's many more unpredictable conditions in the ARMv8 ARM. If anyone 
feels like these are valuable to catch at assemble time, I can go and 
add more checks.

         * config/tc-aarch64.c (md_assemble): Call warn_unpredictable.
         (warn_unpredictable): New.

         * gas/aarch64/diagnostic.s: Add new warnings test patterns.
         * gas/aarch64/diagnostic.l: Update expected diagnostic output.
