Сomparison with complex immediates followed by branch/cset can be improved.
Currently clang optimise  
int feqi (int a)
{
  return a == 0x111111;
}

long long feql (long long a)
{
  return a == 0x222222;
}

int fnei (int a)
{
  return a != 0x333333;
}

long long fnel (long long a)
{
  return a != 0x444444;
}
into 
feqi(int):                               // @feqi(int)
        mov     w8, #4369
        movk    w8, #17, lsl #16
        cmp     w0, w8
        cset    w0, eq
        ret
feql(long long):                               // @feql(long long)
        mov     w8, #8738
        movk    w8, #34, lsl #16
        cmp     x0, x8
        cset    w0, eq
        ret
fnei(int):                               // @fnei(int)
        mov     w8, #13107
        movk    w8, #51, lsl #16
        cmp     w0, w8
        cset    w0, ne
        ret
fnel(long long):                               // @fnel(long long)
        mov     w8, #17476
        movk    w8, #68, lsl #16
        cmp     x0, x8
        cset    w0, ne
        ret
However gcc performs better emitting sub+subs instead of mov+movk+cmp:
feqi(int):
        sub     w0, w0, #1118208
        subs    w0, w0, #273
        cset    w0, eq
        ret
feql(long long):
        sub     x0, x0, #2236416
        subs    x0, x0, #546
        cset    x0, eq
        ret
fnei(int):
        sub     w0, w0, #3354624
        subs    w0, w0, #819
        cset    w0, ne
        ret
fnel(long long):
        sub     x0, x0, #4472832
        subs    x0, x0, #1092
        cset    x0, ne
        ret
