Ok, thinking a bit more about it; A proper address will at have at least
2B alignment, so that means that we can construct an address with lui,
addi, and slli (31 bits).

u64 addr = 0xffffffff12345678;

u32 (imm |= 0xffffffffUL) >> 1;
u32 upper = (imm + (1 << 11)) >> 12;
u32 lower = imm & 0xfff;
u32 rupper = upper | 0x80000; // for sign extend

NB! Make sure it's !C insn, and emit:

lui xx, rupper
addi xx, xx, lower
slli xx, xx, 1

Now we'll have fixed three insns. WDYT?
