2014-01-08arm64: move encode_insn_immediate() from module.c to insn.cJiang Liu
Function encode_insn_immediate() will be used by other instruction manipulate related functions, so move it into insn.c and rename it as aarch64_insn_encode_immediate().

2013-11-05arm64: module: ensure instruction is little-endian before manipulationWill Deacon
Relocations that require an instruction immediate to be re-encoded must ensure that the instruction pattern is represented in a little-endian format for the manipulation code to work correctly. This patch converts the loaded instruction into native-endianess prior to encoding and then converts back to little-endian byteorder before updating memory.

2012-09-17arm64: Loadable modulesWill Deacon
This patch adds support for loadable modules. Loadable modules are loaded 64MB below the kernel image due to branch relocation restrictions (see Documentation/arm64/memory.txt).
