Hi, please consider!

Materializing a 48-bit pointer, using an additional register, we can do with:
lui + lui + slli + add + addi
This 15% faster both on VF2 and in CPU models, compared to movptr().

As we often materialize during calls there is free registers.

I have choose just a few spot to use it, many more can use.
E.g. la() with tmp register can use li48 instead of movptr.

Running tests now (so far so good), as if I screwed up IC calls it should be seen fast.
And benchmarks when hardware is free.
