Not quite. ARM puts constant pools inline with the code, not in rodata. This
is a fairly fundamental property of the arm architecture. Unlike most other
risc architectures arm does not really have any other mechanism for loading
addresses/large values. Dyngen has a nontrivial amount of special code to
handle this.
