I have a concern with this approach, since its mirroring the prior arm
art, I think for v8 it would be better to consolidate it around ISA defs

e.g. armv8.4-a, armv8.3-a, armv8.2-a and armv8.1-a and so on.

Moreover current approach is only considering a subset of aarch64
feature modifiers, if we want to go this route we should consider them
all as listed here

https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/AArch64-Options.html#aarch64-feature-modifiers

if there is one outlier then its better to address that in machine or
soc config instead.
