              if  necessary the compiler will call a method
              to zero or sign extend the register
            * The a_load_XX_XX with OP_64 needn't to be
              implemented for 32 bit
              processors, the code generator takes care of that
            * the addr size is for work with the natural pointer
              size
            * the procedures without fpu/mm are only for integer usage

  (*
    Subsetrefs are used for (bit)packed arrays and (bit)packed records stored
    in memory. They are like a regular reference, but contain an extra bit
    offset (either constant -startbit- or variable -bitindexreg-, always OS_INT)
    and a bit length (always constant).

    Bit packed values are stored differently in memory depending on whether we
    are on a big or a little endian system (compatible with at least GPC). The
    size of the basic working unit is always the smallest power-of-2 byte size
    which can contain the bit value (so 1..8 bits -> 1 byte, 9..16 bits -> 2
    bytes, 17..32 bits -> 4 bytes etc).

    On a big endian, 5-bit: values are stored like this:
      11111222 22333334 44445555 56666677 77788888
    The leftmost bit of each 5-bit value corresponds to the most significant
    bit.

    On little endian, it goes like this:
      22211111 43333322 55554444 77666665 88888777
    In this case, per byte the left-most bit is more significant than those on
    the right, but the bits in the next byte are all more significant than
    those in the previous byte (e.g., the 222 in the first byte are the low
    three bits of that value, while the 22 in the second byte are the upper
    two bits.

    Big endian, 9 bit values:
      11111111 12222222 22333333 33344444 ...

    Little endian, 9 bit values:
      11111111 22222221 33333322 44444333 ...
    This is memory representation and the 16 bit values are byteswapped.
    Similarly as in the previous case, the 2222222 string contains the lower
    bits of value 2 and the 22 string contains the upper bits. Once loaded into
    registers (two 16 bit registers in the current implementation, although a
    single 32 bit register would be possible too, in particular if 32 bit
    alignment can be guaranteed), this becomes:
      22222221 11111111 44444333 33333322 ...
      (l)ow  u     l     l    u     l   u

    The startbit/bitindex in a subsetreference always refers to
    a) on big endian: the most significant bit of the value
       (bits counted from left to right, both memory an registers)
    b) on little endian: the least significant bit when the value
       is loaded in a register (bit counted from right to left)

    Although a) results in more complex code for big endian systems, it's
    needed for compatibility both with GPC and with e.g. bitpacked arrays in
    Apple's universal interfaces which depend on these layout differences).

    Note: when changing the loadsize calculated in get_subsetref_load_info,
    make sure the appropriate alignment is guaranteed, at least in case of
    {$defined cpurequiresproperalignment}.
