+ *
+ * Expand a SIMD constant value. This is essentially the pseudocode
+ * AdvSIMDExpandImm, except that we also perform the boolean NOT needed for
+ * VMVN and VBIC (when cmode < 14 && op == 1).
+ *
+ * The combination cmode == 15 op == 1 is a reserved encoding for AArch32;
+ * callers must catch this.
+ *
+ * cmode = 2,3,4,5,6,7,10,11,12,13 imm=0 was UNPREDICTABLE in v7A but
+ * is either not unpredictable or merely CONSTRAINED UNPREDICTABLE in v8A;
+ * we produce an immediate constant value of 0 in these cases.
