Actually, originally the AArch64 backend did the same thing but I switched to the x86 model back in February. Which means thar r175258 is a nice potted (but reversed) description of all the steps needed. Ignore the more baroque parts of AArch64ConstantIslandsPass.cpp, yours will probably only have to add a bunch of CONSTPOOL_ENTRYs at the end of the function (the doInitialPlacement method, though even that does more than you need)...
