The __arm_agnostic keyword attribute enables the user to specify that a function is agnostic to a specified piece of architectural state. That means that the function must preserve this state when it exists, or otherwise ignores its contents.
The reason for not naming this something like __arm_za_compatible was so that we might want use the attribute keyword for other architectural state in the future.

Checklist: (mark with X those which apply)
[ ] If an issue reporting the bug exists, I have mentioned it in the
PR (do not bother creating the issue if all you want to do is
fixing the bug yourself).
[ ] I have added/updated the SPDX-FileCopyrightText lines on top
of any file I have edited. Format is SPDX-FileCopyrightText: Copyright {year} {entity or name} <{contact informations}>
(Please update existing copyright lines if applicable. You can
specify year ranges with hyphen , as in 2017-2019, and use
commas to separate gaps, as in 2018-2020, 2022).
[ ] I have updated the Copyright section of the sources of the
specification I have edited (this will show up in the text
rendered in the PDF and other output format supported). The
format is the same described in the previous item.
[ ] I have run the CI scripts (if applicable, as they might be
tricky to set up on non-*nix machines). The sequence can be
found in the contribution
guidelines. Don't
worry if you cannot run these scripts on your machine, your
patch will be automatically checked in the Actions of the pull
request.
[X] I have added an item that describes the changes I have
introduced in this PR in the section Changes for next
release of the section Change Control/Document history
of the document. Create Changes for next release if it does
not exist. Notice that changes that are not modifying the
content and rendering of the specifications (both HTML and PDF)
do not need to be listed.
[X] When modifying content and/or its rendering, I have checked the
correctness of the result in the PDF output (please refer to the
instructions on how to build the PDFs
