Ok. Still, we should make sure the cost of movabsq is significantly higher
than cost of other immediates (not only because the other immediates can be
used directly in the instructions, while for movabsq you need to first use
that insn to initialize some reg and then use that reg in other insn, but
also because of the movabsq latency).
