Do we have any human-readable description of what the new instructions
do?

Since the v8.4 spec itself only describes these as "New Floating
Point Multiplication Variant", I wonder what "FHM" actually stands
for.

Maybe something like "widening half-precision floating-point multiply
accumulate" is acceptable wording consistent with the existing
architecture, but I just made that up, so it's not official ;)

You also need to update Documentation/arm64/elf_hwcaps.txt.

Otherwise, looks OK.
