1) make sure that the first two instructions of the sequence cannot
separate from each other. The linker requires that they be sequential.
If they get separated, it can still work but it will not work in all
cases because the first of the instructions mostly involves the hi part
of the pc relative offset and that part changes slowly. You would have
to be at the right boundary for this to matter.
2) make sure that this sequence begins on a longword boundary.
There appears to be a bug in binutils which makes some of these calculations
get messed up if the instruction sequence does not begin on a longword
boundary. This is being investigated with the appropriate binutils folks.

helper functions. This can be optimized out later when the remaining
parts of the helper function work is moved into the Mips16HardFloat pass.
For now it forces us to use the 32 bit save/restore instructions instead
of the 16 bit ones.

not matter but makes it more gcc compatible which avoids possible subtle
problems. Also, turned back on a disabled check in helloworld.ll.

We will make them delay slot forms if there is something that can be
placed in the delay slot during a separate pass. Mips16 extended instructions
cannot be placed in delay slots.

integer offset operands rather than frame object operands.
