static global variables whose addresses are taken. This allows us to
convert the following code for taking the address of a static function foo
addis r2, r30, ha16(Ll1__2E_foo_2$non_lazy_ptr-"L00001$pb")
lwz r3, lo16(Ll1__2E_foo_2$non_lazy_ptr-"L00001$pb")(r2)
which also includes linker stub code emitted at the end of the .s file not
shown here, and replace it with this:
addis r2, r30, ha16(l1__2E_foo_2-"L00001$pb")
la r3, lo16(l1__2E_foo_2-"L00001$pb")(r2)
which in addition to not needing linker help, also has no load instruction.
For those not up on PowerPC mnemonics, la is shorthand for add immediate.
