A load takes a chain as input and produces a chain as output. While 
removing the load node you can retrieve the incoming chain to load and 
put it where the out chain of load goes to.

In PIC16 backend, we replace "load" with pic16 specific load node called 
"PIC16Load". See if PIC16 code can help.
