[ Upstream commit 7bdc0e7a390511cd3df8194003b908f15a6170a5 ]
Note that mov to 32-bit register will zero extend to 64-bit register.
Thus `mov $60,%eax` has the same effect with `mov $60,%rax`. Use the
shorter opcode to achieve the same thing.
```
b8 3c 00 00 00 mov $60,%eax (5 bytes) [1]
48 c7 c0 3c 00 00 00 mov $60,%rax (7 bytes) [2]
```
Currently, we use [2]. Change it to [1] for shorter code.
