> 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.
