> For the case showed above, after superword optimization with SVE,
> without the patch, the vector add operation always has 2 z-reg inputs,
> like:
> mov     z16.s, #2
> add	z17.s, z17.s, z16.s
> 
> Considering sve has supported basic binary operations with immediate,
> this pattern could be further optimized to:
> add     z16.s, z16.s, #2
> 
> To implement it, we added some new match rules and assembler rules in
> the aarch64 backend. We also made some extensions on immediate types
> and functions to keep backward compatible.
> 
> With the patch, only these binary integer vector operations, +(add),
> -(sub), &(and), |(orr), and ^(eor) with immediate are supported for
> the optimization. Other vector operations are not supported currently.
> 
> Tested tier1 and test/hotspot/jtreg/compiler on SVE featured AArch64
> CPU, no new failure.
> 
> There is no obvious performance uplift but it can help remove one
> redundant mov instruction.
