I had a quick look at the patch and it looks fine. Some time ago I
tried to implement this, but wanted to reused the movw and movt logic.
Unfortunately creating new machine instructions at this stage is not
very convenient.

I think the patch is fine. It might also fix PR7048. I am trying it
right now, but it takes some time to build llvm on a beagleboard :-)
