As a correction, I don't know that any of these is correct. 
I need to look into this a bit more.  I think that it requires the
relocation to be off of a register, i.e.

	movabs  $foo at tpoff, %rax
	add     $foo at tpoff, %rax
        mov     foo at tpoff(%rbx), %eax

are all legal, while:

	mov     foo at tpoff(%ebx), %eax
    	call    foo at tpoff
     	mov     $foo at tpoff, %eax
     	mov     $foo at tpoff, %ax
     	mov     $foo at tpoff, %al

are all illegal.

So we appear to be lowering something, and trying to make
an illegal move out of it.

Unfortunately we're really short on testcases here. :)  I've made
an attempt that works for the current test and passes our set of tests
in:

Sending        lib/Target/X86/X86Instr64bit.td
Sending        test/CodeGen/X86/x86-64-tls-1.ll
Transmitting file data ..
Committed revision 107860.

Going to need some more testcases soon though if you run into
any more problems :)
