+;; The *addsi3_compact is made an insn_and_split and accepts actually
+;; impossible constraints to make LRA's register elimination work well on SH.
+;; The problem is that LRA expects something like

+;; to work.  We can do that, but we have to split out an additional reg-reg
+;; copy before the actual add insn.
