This patch adds PC Relative support for global values that are known at link time.
If a global value requires access through the global offset table (GOT) it is not covered in this patch.

Why is this code move needed?

It is correct that the code did not need to be moved. I've moved it back.

Does it make sense to also add that it is a PC Relative address if it's marked with the PPCII::MO_PCREL_FLAG or if the node opcode is PPCISD::MAT_PCREL_ADDR?

My comments are quite minor so feel free to address them on the commit. LGTM.

The logic might be easier to follow if we do something like:

Base = N;
if (N.getOpcode() == PPCISD::MAT_PCREL_ADDR)
  return true;
if (ConstantPoolSDNode *CPN = dyn_cast<ConstantPoolSDNode>(N) &&
                              (CPN->getTargetFlags() & PPCII::MO_PCREL_FLAG))
  return true;
if (GlobalAddressSDNode *GAN = dyn_cast<GlobalAddressSDNode>(N) &&
                               (GAN->getTargetFlags() & PPCII::MO_PCREL_FLAG))
  return true;
return false;

Please remove this from the AIX block. There is no current plan to support PC-relative addressing on AIX.

There is a slight change in logic with the above code. In the current implementation Base will not be set to N if the result is false, but with the code in the comment it will always be set to N.

The naming convention is a bit inconsistent :

GSDN / ConstPoolNode , this inconsistency is carried over this patch too.

JumpTableSDNode *JT = dyn_cast<JumpTableSDNode>(N.getNode());
