The documentation is gradually being published, but it will take some
time before the full v8 specification is made public.

The assembly language, as supported by GAS, is documented in:

http://infocenter.arm.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.arm.doc.genc010197a/index.html

You may need to register to gain access to the document.

The encoding information isn't covered in that document; you'll just
have to trust us that we've got that bit right :-)
