This is an optimization that applies to global addresses and
allows for the following transformation:
Convert this:
paddi r3, 0, symbol@PCREL, 1
ld r4, 8(r3)
To this:
pld r4, symbol@PCREL+8(0), 1
An instruction is saved and the linker can do the addition when
the symbol is resolved.

This patch adds PC Relative support for global values that are known at link
time. If a global value requires access through the global offset table (GOT)
it is not covered in this patch.
