I'd like to use CONSTEXPR to get static initialisation of some aarch64-specific variables. This obviously means that cross toolchains built with old compilers won't benefit, but I hope toolchains built with newer compilers are faster for other reasons too. :-)
The variables in question have scalar_int_mode fields, so I first needed to make the machine_mode stuff more constexpr-friendly. This patch therefore adds CONSTEXPR to constructors and operators in machmode.h, excluding the controversial constexpr-resistant "() {}" constructors, which would become "= default" if we required C++11. Some of the other routines could potentially be constexpr too, but that can be done on an as-needed basis. Tested on aarch64-linux-gnu, with and without the follow-on changes. OK to install?
