Indeed. I did wonder about regenerating everything by running the Python script at test time, but reasoned that doing so would introduce a dependency on build tools ("as", for example) that I didn't want to have. But moving the output of aarch64_asmtest.py into a separate file is a good idea, if you like.

I'm minded to just approve this patch as it is now.
