I don't see any advantage to using adds instead of addl.  They schedule
the same, have the same performance, and the docs say we should use addl
always.  So I think we should just drop the pseudo instruction entry
that maps mov to adds.

The following patch does this, and seems to give the right result for
your testcase.  I now get the desired PLTOFF22 reloc instead of a IMM14
reloc for "mov address@hidden(a)".
