While some assemblers (including the LLVM assembler I mostly use) will happily accept SMSTART as an instruction by default others, specifically gas, require that any architecture extensions be explicitly enabled. The assembler SME test programs use manually encoded helpers for the new instructions but no SMSTART helper is defined, only SM and ZA specific variants. Unfortunately the irritators that were just added use plain SMSTART so on stricter assemblers these fail to build:
za-test.S:160: Error: selected processor does not support `smstart'
Switch to using SMSTART ZA via the manually encoded smstart_za macro we already have defined.

And is smstop ok for assemblers? I think I got the error first on smstop with my toolchain.

Ah, we already have a macro for that. Let me check the error I got, maybe I got confused (with the multitude of other warnings ;)).

Yeah, smstop is already used in those programs (in 'barf') so they should never have complied if the macro wasn't working.

Applied to arm64 (for-next/kselftest), thanks!
