On ARM and AArch64, we have special intrinsics int_aarch64_space/int_arm_space which are specifically intended to eat space, to allow constructing small testcases for branch relaxation etc.  Maybe worth adapting to PPC if you expect to be writing multiple testcases like that.  Actually, you probably don't need an IR intrinsic now that you can write MIR testcases; an MIR instruction should be sufficient.
