This patch provides initial implementation of load address
macro instruction for Mips. We have implemented two kinds
of expansions with their variations depending on the size
of immediate operand:
1) load address with immediate value directly:
* la d,j => addiu d,$zero,j (for -32768 <= j <= 65535)
* la d,j => lui d,hi16(j)
ori d,d,lo16(j) (for any other 32 bit value of j)
2) load load address with register offset value
* la d,j(s) => addiu d,s,j (for -32768 <= j <= 65535)
* la d,j(s) => lui d,hi16(j) (for any other 32 bit value of j)
ori d,d,lo16(j)
addu d,d,s
This patch does not cover the case when the address is loaded
from the value of the label or function.

macro instruction (li) in the assembler.
We have identified three possible expansions depending on
the size of immediate operand:
1) for 0 ≤ j ≤ 65535.
li d,j =>
ori d,$zero,j
2) for −32768 ≤ j < 0.
li d,j =>
addiu d,$zero,j
3) for any other value of j that is representable as a 32-bit integer.
li d,j =>
lui d,hi16(j)
ori d,d,lo16(j)
All of the above have been implemented in ths patch.
