| |
PowerPC optimization of the immediate values which uses a li instruction, patched with an immediate value.
Changelog: - Put imv_set and _imv_set in the architecture independent header. - Pack the __imv section. Use smallest types required for size (char). - Remove architecture specific update code : now handled by architecture agnostic code. - Use imv_* instead of immediate_*.
