--- Comment #1 from cand at gmx.com ---
A banked data scheme, like on the 65816, would be a slightly simpler version.
Instead of incrementing a pointer, the data bank register contains the high
bits, and the instruction contains the low bits. Such a setup also lets you
access larger-than-11-bit immediates, and is basically MIPS's small data
section made customizable.

It would still be relocatable, just in 11 bit alignments. The linker would
adjust the set-data-bank-register instructions on program load, for
position-independent code.
