The patch_aarch64_33rx relaxation only improves offsets <1MB.
If the offset is >1MB we can't save any instructions, but we can save the load from the data section.
Instead of:
adrp address of data holding value (hi bits)
ldr address of data holding value (lo bits)
we can get the value directly, as long as it is within 4GB
adrp value (hi bits)
add value (lo bits)
