Pointer size on our target is 16-bits, and we have two 16-bit registers that can be used only to hold pointers (indirect addresses). All operations on the target are 8-bit operations, so it takes two 8-bit loads to load these pointer registers. We want LLVM to automatically expand all types to 8-bit values. The problem is that LLVM does not expand GlobalAddresses, which are 16-bit
