Is it possible to have or construct a contraint that permits partial
overlap operands. (which neither = or& would allow)
The case would be wide types taking multiple hard registers.
eg Input r20..23 Output r22..25
There is no such constraint today. I suppose it would be possible to
define such a constraint if it seemed useful.
I'd much prefer if the port decomposed its double word operations and
used the lower-subreg pass to decompose the double word registers. At
which point the register allocator has all of the information it needs
to do the right thing.
