Subject: [PATCH 4.4 22/92] arm64: introduce mov_q macro to move a constant into a 64-bit register

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@...aro.org>

commit 30b5ba5cf333cc650e474eaf2cc1ae91bc7cf89f upstream.

Implement a macro mov_q that can be used to move an immediate constant
into a 64-bit register, using between 2 and 4 movz/movk instructions
(depending on the operand)
