ARM docs mention that both VFPv3+ and NEON VMOV.f32 Rn, #imm support
encoded floating-point constants. Tables A7-15 and A7-18 (ARMv7-AR):

"The bit pattern represents the floating-point number (–1)S × 2exp ×
mantissa, where S = UInt(a), exp = UInt(NOT(b):c:d)-3 and mantissa =
(16+UInt(e:f:g:h))/16."

cheers,
