Hi all,

This is the assembler part support for the following relocations:

BFD_RELOC_AARCH64_MOVW_PREL_G0, BFD_RELOC_AARCH64_MOVW_PREL_G0_NC,
BFD_RELOC_AARCH64_MOVW_PREL_G1, BFD_RELOC_AARCH64_MOVW_PREL_G1_NC,
BFD_RELOC_AARCH64_MOVW_PREL_G2, BFD_RELOC_AARCH64_MOVW_PREL_G2_NC,
BFD_RELOC_AARCH64_MOVW_PREL_G3

Regards,
Renlin
