I have partial success.

The key was to define both TARGET_LEGITIMATE_ADDRESS_P and an
addptr<Pmode>3 insn.

I had tried TARGET_LEGITIMATE_ADDRESS_P before, together with various
combinations of TARGET_LEGITIMIZE_ADDRESS and
LEGITIMIZE_RELOAD_ADDRESS, but they all threw gcc into reload loops.

My add<Pmode>3 insn clobbers the CC register. The docs say to define
addptr<Pmode>3 in this case, and that eliminated the reload loops.

The issue now is that the machine cannot perform an add without
clobbering the CC register, so I'll have to hide that somehow. When
emitting the asm code, can one check if the CC register is LIVE-OUT
from the insn? If it isn't I shouldn't have to generate code to
preserve it.
