ARM has no function specific attribute in EABI. The only thing we do is in the assembler just for the sake of accepting otherwise invalid instructions (bump up support) for the rare case where you're pretty sure no one will call that function without support for that instruction. This has mainly two users: ifunc and unwinders.

The point here is to work around a GAS deficiency in representing "krait" as an A9+DIV in a *global* context. So, your function specific attribute will either not exist, or be replicated to all functions, whatever is easier for you.

Regarding getting the ISA, I was wrong, and we should use the build attributes anyway.
