Do not use movq for loading arbitrary 64bit immediates. The ISA

Mmh. Is there a compiler where this makes a difference? On NetBSD/GGG it
doesn't (because if it did, SVS would never have worked), but I see that
on MacOS the instruction indeed makes a difference, the encoding becomes:

     movq    0x0, %rax

Which is obviously not what we expect.

Is this the problem you were having a few weeks ago? That is to say, the
kernel that was crashing at boot time, did you compile it on another
system/compiler that generated a "movq 0x0,%rax"?

Anyway your change seems correct.

Thanks,
Maxime

There are reports that the SVS kernel built by Clang doesn't work.

Where are they? I haven't been made aware of any issue related to SVS+clang.

(By the way, I sent [pullup-8 #786] this morning.)
