After this commit - https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/commit/a49ecb26c5ff2f949851937f3bb036d7946a103e, the JTREG test -
`test/hotspot/jtreg/compiler/vectorization/TestFloat16VectorOperations.java` fails for some of the tests which contain constant values such as -


public void vectorAddConstInputFloat16() {
         for (int i = 0; i < LEN; ++i) {
             output[i] = float16ToRawShortBits(add(shortBitsToFloat16(input1[i]), FP16_CONST));
         }
     }



<The full failure log is present in the JBS ticket, thus not reproducing it here>

The current code in the JDK results in the generation of sve_dup instruction for every 16-bit immediate while the acceptable range is [-128, 127] for 8-bit immediates and [-127 << 8, 128 << 8] with a multiple of 256 for 16-bit signed immediates.

This patch allows the generation of sve_dup instruction for only those 16-bit values which are within the limits as specified above and for the values which are out of range, the immediate half float value is loaded from the constant pool into a register ("loadConH" mach node) which is then replicated or broadcasted to an SVE register ("replicateHF" mach node).

Both the tests - `test/hotspot/jtreg/compiler/vectorization/TestFloat16VectorOperations.java` and `test/hotspot/jtreg/compiler/c2/aarch64/TestFloat16Replicate.java` pass on 256-bit SVE machine. JTREG tests - hotspot (hotspot_all), langtools (tier1) and jdk(tier 1-3) pass on the same machine.
