The immediate fword is loaded into the lo half of a 64BIT register. The
high half is zeroed.

Not all instructions that operate on wide registers have g in their names

I'm trying to figure out for certain all of what LLILF does. Based on the
description it would seem to be "grande" in effect but has no G in the op
code.

The description says "The second operand is placed in bit positions of the
first operand. The remainder of the first operand is set to zeros. ... LLILF
32-63." That second sentence would imply to me that the immediate value
effectively is loaded into positions 0 to 63 of the register (without sign
propagation), but the lack of a G in the op code makes me suspicious. Does
anyone know *for certain*?
