macro instruction (li) in the assembler.
We have identified three possible expansions depending on
the size of immediate operand:
1) for 0 ≤ j ≤ 65535.
li d,j =>
ori d,$zero,j
2) for −32768 ≤ j < 0.
li d,j =>
addiu d,$zero,j
3) for any other value of j that is representable as a 32-bit integer.
li d,j =>
lui d,hi16(j)
ori d,d,lo16(j)
All of the above have been implemented in ths patch.
