Testcase:
unsigned int f(void)
{
  return 0x80000001UL;
}

This should be able to done in three instructions:
.f:
        li 3,1
        oris 3,3,0x8000
        blr

Right now it is done as:
.L.f:
        li 3,0
        ori 3,3,32768
        sldi 3,3,16
        ori 3,3,1
        blr
Which is (0x8000 << 16) | 1 but (0x8000 << 16) is what is done for oris.
