Thanks for your review. 

The assembler on my computer don't convert ldr r1,=xxx into mov instruction. Here is the objdump for vmlinux:

Even "ldr r1, =TASK_SIZE"  won't be converted to a mov instruction by some assembler, I also think it is better
to remove the whole #ifdef because the influence of performance by ldr is very limited.
