> The Sparc code generator is too strict in it's tests
> for when just a 'sethi' can be used to load a constant.
> 
> 'sethi' loads the top 22-bits of a 32-bit register with the given
> constant value.
> 
> This patch corrects the test, so that we use 1 instruction
> instead of 2 more often.

> 	can be used if the constant value only has the top 22 bits set.
