That's a little bit disappointing for me. Is there some way in LLVM to
get the address of a label and put it in a register for use within
that function?

I'm using a special instruction that effectively branches to the value
in that register.

pseudo-LLVM:
%tmp = label %label
br label %tmp

Except it doesn't behave like a (un)conditional branch of course;
otherwise, I would just use the standard LLVM BranchInst.
