[AArch64][SVE 07/32] Replace hard-coded uses of REG_TYPE_R_Z_BHSDQ_V
To remove parsing ambiguities and to avoid register names being accidentally added to the symbol table, the immediate parsing routines reject things like: .equ x0, 0 add v0.4s, v0.4s, x0 An explicit '#' must be used instead: .equ x0, 0 add v0.4s, v0.4s, #x0 Of course, it wasn't possible to predict what other register names might be added in future, so this behaviour was restricted to the register names that were defined at the time. For backwards compatibility, we should continue to allow things like: .equ p0, 0 add v0.4s, v0.4s, p0 even though p0 is now an SVE register. However, it seems reasonable to extend the x0 behaviour above to SVE registers when parsing SVE instructions, especially since none of the SVE immediate formats are relocatable. Doing so removes the same parsing ambiguity for SVE instructions as the x0 behaviour removes for base AArch64 instructions. As a prerequisite, we then need to be able to tell the parsing routines which registers to reject. This patch changes the interface to make that possible, although the set of rejected registers doesn't change at this stage. gas/ * config/tc-aarch64.c (parse_immediate_expression): Add a reg_type parameter.

(po_imm_nc_or_fail): Update accordingly, passing down a new imm_reg_type variable. (po_imm_of_fail): Likewise. (parse_operands): Likewise.
