+// Attempt to expand 64-bit immediate values whose negated upper half match
+// the lower half (for example, 0x1234'5678'edcb'a987).
+// Immediates of this form can generally be expanded via a sequence of
+// MOVN+MOVK to expand the lower half, followed by an EOR to shift and negate
+// the result to the upper half, e.g.:
+//   mov  x0, #-22137          // =0xffffffffffffa987
+//   movk x0, #60875, lsl #16  // =0xffffffffedcba987
+//   eor  x0, x0, x0, lsl #32  // =0xffffffffedcba987 ^ 0xedcba98700000000
+//                                =0x12345678edcba987.
+// When the lower half contains a 16-bit chunk of ones, such as
+// 0x0000'5678'ffff'a987, the intermediate MOVK is redundant.
+// Similarly, when it contains a 16-bit chunk of zeros, such as
+// 0xffff'5678'0000'a987, the expansion can instead be effected by expanding
+// the negation of the lower half and negating the result with an EON, e.g.:
+//   mov  x0, #-43400          // =0xffffffffffff5678
+//   eon  x0, x0, x0, lsl #32  // =0xffffffffffff5678 ^ ~0xffff567800000000
+//                                =0xffffffffffff5678 ^  0x0000a987ffffffff
+//                                =0xffff56780000a987.
+// In any of these cases, the expansion with EOR/EON saves an instruction
+// compared to the default expansion based on MOV and MOVKs.

Hi, it looks like at least `tryToreplicateChunks` may also generate two or three instructions depending on how many repeated chunks it finds.

In any case, would you rather I add a parameter to control the number of instructions this method is allowed to emit? Then it could be called twice in `AArch64_IMM::expandMOVImm` with the appropriate limits of two and three. Would that be preferable?
