/*
 * ARM cannot load arbitrary 32-bit constants directly into registers;
 * widely used work-around for this is to store constants into a
 * PC-addressable pool and use LDR instruction with PC-relative address
 * to load constant into register. Easiest way to implement this is to
 * embed constant inside a function with unconditional branch around it.
 * The above method is not used at the moment.
 * This routine always emits sequence of instructions to generate
 * requested constant. In the worst case it takes 4 instructions to
 * synthesize a constant - 1 MOV and 3 subsequent ORRs.
