A number of useful constants can be encoded with a 64-bit ORR followed
by a 64-bit EOR, including all remaining repeated byte patterns, some
useful repeated 16-bit patterns, and some irregular masks. This patch
prioritizes that encoding over three or four instruction encodings.
Encoding with MOV + MOVK or ORR + MOVK is still preferred for fast
literal generation and readability respectively.
The method devises three candidate values, and checks if both Candidate
and (Imm ^ Candidate) are valid logical immediates. If so, Imm is
materialized with:
ORR Xd, XZR, #(Imm ^ Candidate) EOR Xd, Xd, #(Candidate)
The method has been exhaustively tested to ensure it can solve all
possible values (excluding 0, ~0, and plain logical immediates, which
are handled earlier).
