Summary

This is used by the Linux kernel built with CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL.

Because different operands are not permitted to movs, the diagnostics now provide multiple suggestions along the lines of using a non-pc destination operand or lr source operand.

Forked from D95586.

(I should probably add the new notes, so reviewers can see how the diagnostics are changed. Will do so tomorrow.)

  • add CHECKs for note: diagnostics to tests.
