[PATCH, AArch64] Allow insv_imm to handle bigger immediates via masking to 16-bits

2013-05-17 Thread Ian Bolton
The MOVK instruction is currently not used when operand 2 is more than 16 bits, which leads to sub-optimal code. This patch improves those situations by removing the check and instead masking down to 16 bits within the new "X" format specifier I added recently. OK for trunk? Cheers, Ian 2013-0
