Apparatus and method for generating 64 bit displacement and immediate values

A method comprising:

• receiving an instruction, wherein said instruction includes a displacement field and an immediate field, wherein said displacement field includes a first value, and wherein said immediate field includes a second value;
• concatenating said first value and said second value to generate a third value;
• and
• generating a result using said third value, and wherein said result comprises an address in response to said instruction corresponding to a first instruction type, and wherein said result does not comprise said address in response to said instruction corresponding to a second instruction type.

A computer system comprising:

• a processor including:
• a decode unit configured to receive an instruction;
• an execution core coupled to said decode unit;
• wherein said instruction includes a displacement field and an immediate field, wherein said displacement field includes a first value, wherein said immediate field includes a second value, wherein said decode unit is configured to decode said instruction and convey instruction information, said first value, and said second value to said execution core, and wherein said execution core is configured to generate a result using a concatenation of said first value and said second value, and wherein said result comprises an address in response to said instruction corresponding to a first instruction type, and wherein said result does not comprise said address in response to said instruction corresponding to a second instruction type;
• and
• an input/output (I/0) device coupled to said processor and to another computer system, wherein said I/0 device is configured to communicate between said processor and said another computer system.
