[PATCH 2/57][Arm][GAS] Add support for MVE instructions: vpst, vadd, vsub and vabd

[Andre Vieira (lists)]

Hi,

After Nick's comments I decided to clean up the definition and uses of 
check_simd_pred_availability.  I hope it makes the function clearer now. 
  This is to be applied on top of the MVE series (was easier and cleaner 
than rebasing everything).

Is this OK?

Cheers,
Andre
