Another problem: arm_gen_constant can build constants from multiple immediates, but only by means of the 8-bit shifted format immediates. Using the replicated constants (of the form 0xXYXYXYXY, 0xXY00XY00 and 0x00XY00XY) would provide extra opportunities for optimal instruction sequences.

This would be much less straightforward, however.
