        <pre>When a specific padding value of 0 is passed to a .balign directive in an
executable area, the value is ignored and NOP instructions are inserted
instead.

The value is respected for the .balignw .balignl variants. Further, if a
non-zero value is specified, it's respected.

Shouldn't an explicit 0 padding value be respected for .balign?

Reproducer:

// Contents of foo.S
.section TestSection, "x"
  add x14, x14, 0x1
  .balign 0x10, 0
  add x14, x14, 0x1
.end

Command line:
clang -target arm64-unknown-linux -c -o foo.o foo.S</pre>
