WN and XN

The WN directive defines a name for a
specified 32-bit register.
The XN directive defines a name for a
specified 64-bit register.

allocate convenient names to registers in A64 code, to help you
to remember what you use each register for. Be careful to avoid
conflicting uses of the same register under different names.
