Note CODE==1 vs CODE==2.  You should be able to distinguish your
two cases based on this.  If absolutely necessary, pass type information
from ASM_PREFERRED_EH_DATA_FORMAT to ASM_MAYBE_OUTPUT_ENCODED_ADDR_RTX
via bits >= 0x100, ie bits that won't appear in the output file.

Note that ia64 has the same sort of function descriptor vs FDE
code label sorts of issues.
