I think you mean P0 rather than P15 here? 

	rdffr   p0.b

... reads from the FFR and writes to P0, modifying P0.

	wrffr   p15.b

... reads from P15 and writes to the FRR, leaving P15 unchanged.

Both RDFFR and WRFFR are illegal in streaming mode unless FEAT_FA64 is
implemented and enabled, so we cannot use DRFFR in the SSVE case.

Is there a different instruction we can use?
