This is the difference between AT&T and Intel syntax (give llvm-mc the
-output-asm-variant=1 option to see what something closer to what's
been input).

The x86 reference manual really does seem to list the 64-bit immediate
move with mnemonic MOV. I'm not sure why GAS chose movabs, but this
probably is a bug in our Intel syntax support.

Cheers.
