than doing the same via constpool:
1. Load from constpool costs 3 cycles on A9, movt/movw pair - just 2.
2. Load from constpool might stall up to 300 cycles due to cache miss.
3. Movt/movw does not use load/store unit.
4. Less constpool entries => better compiler performance.
This is only enabled on ELF systems, since darwin does not have needed
relocations (yet).

load of a GV from constantpool and then add pc. It allows the code sequence to
be rematerializable so it would be hoisted by machine licm.
- Add a late pass to break these pseudo instructions into a number of real
instructions. Also move the code in Thumb2 IT pass that breaks up t2MOVi32imm
to this pass. This is done before post regalloc scheduling to allow the
scheduler to proper schedule these instructions. It also allow them to be
if-converted and shrunk by later passes.
