[-- Attachment #1: immediate-values-powerpc-optimization.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 3114 bytes --]

PowerPC optimization of the immediate values which uses a li instruction,
patched with an immediate value.

Changelog:
- Put imv_set and _imv_set in the architecture independent header.
- Pack the __imv section. Use smallest types required for size (char).
- Remove architecture specific update code : now handled by architecture
agnostic code.
- Use imv_* instead of immediate_*.
