Sure, it makes the chip "v8.5 (excluding FEAT_BTI)", which is what's written in 
the guide ;)   The guide is intended as a human-readable guide for 
high-performance software writers, not as much as the 
almost-only-machine-readable specifications we're used to reading.  The 
alternative would have been "v8.4a + all these features from v8.5" which is 
worse.
