Due to some recent optimizations related to the compare instruction, DS-form load instructions started to be used to load 8-byte go.strings. This can cause link time errors if the go.string is not aligned to 4 bytes. For DS-form instructions, the value in the offset field must be a multiple of 4. If the offset is known at the time the rules are processed, a DS-form load will not be chosen. But for go.strings, the offset is not known at that time, but a relocation is generated indicating that the linker should fill in the DS relocation. When the linker tries to fill in the relocation, if the offset is not aligned properly, a link error will occur. To fix this, when loading a go.string using MOVDload, the full address of the go.string is generated and loaded into the base register. Then the go.string is loaded with a 0 offset field. Added a testcase that reproduces this problem.
