[PATCH 4/8] arm64: introduce mov_q macro to move a constant into a 64-bit register

From: Ard Biesheuvel
Date: Mon Apr 18 2016 - 11:10:24 EST


Implement a macro mov_q that can be used to move an immediate constant
into a 64-bit register, using between 2 and 4 movz/movk instructions
(depending on the operand)
