If TARGET_PROMOTE_FUNCTION_MODE disagrees with PROMOTE_MODE, it is
possible that the middle end may generate incorrect RTL. This was
seen with the arm target when it was using different sign extension
for args and locals. It may or may not be a problem for SImode
extension versus DImode extension. If you run into optimizer
problems, you may need to change PROMOTE_MODE also to solve them.

Add it to aarch64.c instead of arm.c. arm.c is for 32-bit arm code.
aarch64.c is for 64-bit arm code.
