[PATCH v4 3/3] powerpc/64: optimise LOAD_REG_IMMEDIATE_SYM()

Wed Aug 21 00:34:14 AEST 2019


Optimise LOAD_REG_IMMEDIATE_SYM() using a temporary register to
parallelise operations.

It reduces the path from 5 to 3 instructions.

v3: new
v4: fixed the registers of lis/ori to match rldimi args (tmp is upper part, reg is lower part)
