> Noticed this while doing C1 work, but the issue is more generic. If you look into x86 code, then sometimes you'll notice `movabs` with small immediates on x86. That `movabs` actually carries the full-blown 64-bit immediate.

> Similar to [JDK-8255838](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8255838), it would be useful to shorten movptr(reg, imm) when immediate fits in 32 bits. This would compact some code, notably the code in C1 profiling ([JDK-8315843](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8315843)), but also other code, generically.

> We can use a shorter 32-bit immediate moves. In the hunk above, this saves about 8 bytes.
>
> This is not limited to the profiling code. There is observable code space savings on larger tests in C2, e.g. on `-Xcomp -XX:TieredStopAtLevel=... HelloWorld`.

> 1. Current `movslq(Register, int32_t)` is broken and protected by `ShouldNotReachHere()`. I fixed it to make this patch work. Note that x86_64 does not actually define `movslq reg64, imm32`, this is a regular `mov...
