Jack Carter 9e65aa35a0 This patch that enables the Mips assembler to use symbols for offset for instructions
This patch uses the generated instruction info tables to 
identify memory/load store instructions.
After successful matching and based on the operand type 
and size, it generates additional instructions to the output.

Jack Carter 543fdf8544 Initial assembler implementation of Mips load address macro
This patch provides initial implementation of load address 
macro instruction for Mips. We have implemented two kinds 
of expansions with their variations depending on the size 
of immediate operand:

 1) load address with immediate value directly:
    * la d,j => addiu d,$zero,j   (for -32768 <= j <= 65535)
    * la d,j => lui d,hi16(j)
                ori d,d,lo16(j)   (for any other 32 bit value of j)

 2) load load address with register offset value
    * la d,j(s) => addiu d,s,j     (for -32768 <= j <= 65535)
    * la d,j(s) => lui d,hi16(j)   (for any other 32 bit value of j)
                   ori d,d,lo16(j)
                   addu d,d,s

This patch does not cover the case when the address is loaded 
from the value of the label or function.

Jack Carter 30a5982e75 Implement methods that enable expansion of load immediate
macro instruction (li) in the assembler.

We have identified three possible expansions depending on 
the size of immediate operand:
  1) for 0 ≤ j ≤ 65535.
     li d,j =>
     ori d,$zero,j

  2) for −32768 ≤ j < 0.
     li d,j =>
     addiu d,$zero,j

  3) for any other value of j that is representable as a 32-bit integer.
     li d,j =>
     lui d,hi16(j)
     ori d,d,lo16(j)

All of the above have been implemented in ths patch.
