OK. So it appears to me like R0 needs to be an intermediate secondary
reload for register anytime you have a load of a large constant integer
into any class other than R0_REGS (I'm assuming you've put R0 into its
own class, which would normally be named R0_REGS).

That will certainly help, but won't be sufficient to handle all the
cases. You still need to define your secondary reload class
macros/functions.

I don't know offhand. If I remember correctly, PREFERRED_RELOAD_CLASS is
another method for optimizing the code -- which means your port should
work with or without PREFERRED_RELOAD_CLASS defined. It also means
there's no guarantee PREFERRED_RELOAD_CLASS will be honored in all cases.
