For ARM we remove the list that contains non-arm insns, and
instead add more maintainable branch instruction regex logic.

This one looks ok and actually is in the direction of having facilities
for all arches, should've come as infrastructure that then gets used by
ARM and powerpc.

This was authored by Kim and I didn't wanted to change that so I kept it
at the end.

I'm sending a cleanup patch that applies on top of this series. That patch
moves most of arch specific stuff from util/annotate.c to
util/annotate/<arch>.c. Please review it.

Please pull this series if you are ok with that patch. Otherwise I'll respin
entire series.

Thanks

I don't mind if this gets merged higher up in the series, in fact, I
think it's preferred to adding the arm insn table and then removing it
in the same series.  Keeping my Author: isn't necessary either:
something like "Signed-off-by: Kim Phillips <...> [ARM bits]" will
suffice.

I'll wait for the dust to settle here before submitting an ARM return
insn fix, and aarch64 support originally authored by Chris Ryder
(basically translate table in [1] into regex format).

Thanks,

Kim
