Thanks, this looks much neater.

Thanks, I'd tweak them to look more like the bitmasks you use them as, but
that is a small change for my personal preference.

This is good - thanks.

I think clean up the enum definitions and this patch will be good.

These are used in bit-mask style, so how about:

  AARCH64_CHECK_ORR = 1 << 0,
  AARCH64_CHECK_BIC = 1 << 1,
  AARCH64_CHECK_MOV = AARCH64_CHECK_ORR | AARCH64_CHECK_BIC

Which is more self-documenting.

This function is sorely missing a comment explaining the parameters - it
would be very helpful if you could add one as part of this patch.

Thanks,
James
