Digression: I'm not sure why you'd ever consider using mov_q for a
single-bit constant, irrespective of where that bit is set. The mov
instruction (and all the logical operations taking an immediate as a
parameter) can encode any contiguous stream of 1s with an arbitrary
rotation. See C6.2.247 and co.

Yes.
