9.17.2.3 IA-64 Processor-Status-Register (PSR) Bit Names

The assembler defines bit masks for each of the bits in the IA-64 processor status register. For example, ‘psr.ic’ corresponds to a value of 0x2000. These masks are primarily intended for use with the ‘ssm’/‘sum’ and ‘rsm’/‘rum’ instructions, but they can be used anywhere else where an integer constant is expected.
