Loading 64bit constants require up to 4 load immediates, since we can only load 16 bits at a time. If the 32bit halves of the 64bit constant are the same, however, we can save a cycle by doing a register move instead of two loads of 16 bits. Note that we don't optimize the normal ALU64 load because even though it's a 64 bit load the upper half of the register is a coming from sign extension so we can load it in one cycle anyway.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
