Independent of what other architectures do, I think the assembler should have,
at least as far as feasible, directives to generate the data the insns it
supports operate on. That said, I can pretty clearly see support for .bfloat16
also in tc-arm.c (much like tc-aarch64.c and tc-i386.c). Are you suggesting
it's there but broken?
