Constants are crucial for code size in the ARM Thumb-1 instruction set. The 16 bit instruction size often does not offer enough space for immediate arguments. This means that additional instructions are frequently used to load constants into registers. Since constants are hoisted, this can lead to significant register spillage if they are used multiple times in a single function. This can be avoided by rematerialization, i.e. recomputing a constant instead of reloading it from the stack. This patch fixes the rematerialization of literal pool loads in the ARM Thumb instruction set.
