Message:

Don't generate superfluous mov instructions for move immediate on ARM64.

Patch by Akos Kiss <​[email protected]> on 2014-09-03
Reviewed by Michael Saboff.

On ARM64, the size of an immediate operand for a mov instruction is 16
bits. Thus, a move immediate offlineasm instruction may potentially be
split up to several machine level instructions. The current
implementation always emits a mov for the least significant 16 bits of
the value. However, if any of the bits 63:16 are significant then the
first emitted mov already filled bits 15:0 with zeroes (or ones, for
negative values). So, if bits 15:0 of the value are all zeroes (or ones)
then the last mov does not need to be emitted.
