I don't think this is right; the .inst directive _should_ emit the value
in the instruction stream endianness (i.e. LE, regardless of the data
endianness).

That's certainly the case with the kernel.org crosstool GCC:

[mark@lakrids:/mnt/data/tests/inst-test]% cat test.c                               
void func(void)
{
        asm volatile(".inst 0xd4000001");
}
[mark@lakrids:/mnt/data/tests/inst-test]% usekorg 8.1.0 aarch64-linux-gcc -c test.c
[mark@lakrids:/mnt/data/tests/inst-test]% usekorg 8.1.0 aarch64-linux-objdump -d test.o

test.o:     file format elf64-littleaarch64


Disassembly of section .text:

0000000000000000 <func>:
   0:   d4000001        svc     #0x0
   4:   d503201f        nop

[mark@lakrids:/mnt/data/tests/inst-test]% usekorg 8.1.0 aarch64-linux-gcc -mbig-endian -c test.c
[mark@lakrids:/mnt/data/tests/inst-test]% usekorg 8.1.0 aarch64-linux-objdump -d test.o         

test.o:     file format elf64-bigaarch64


Disassembly of section .text:

0000000000000000 <func>:

Have you tested this? Is there some toolchain that doesn't get this
right?

Thanks,
Mark.
