    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).
