================
Comment at: llvm/lib/Target/PowerPC/PPCInstrInfo.cpp:3069
+  if (ImmMO->isGlobal() && ImmMO->getGlobal()->getAlignment() < 4)
+    return false;

----------------
isImmElgibleForForwarding() will check if the ImmMO is elgible for forwarding. And it will check the alignment there according to the restriction with different instructions.
For your case, if the ImmMO is Global, isImmElgibleForForwarding() will return false if it is not the operand of ADDItocL. It covers your case.  This missing part is that, if it is global, we still need to check the alignment restriction.
