I think we can do better than this - unfortunately the assembler gets
a little difficult (complaining about symbols in different sections),
but it's relatively easy to work-around by precomputing the offset
using .equ.  I'm debating about making this a UP_B(label) and hiding
these details beneath this macro, rather than having this kind of thing
exposed every time we need to do something like this.
