Since the code that uses the doloop_end pattern does not check the operand mode
as given in the pattern, the pattern itself may need to do this, and that was
not documented. This patch adds that information. It also updates the example
to reflect this.
Ok for trunk?

Since the @code{doloop_end} insn is a jump insn that also has an output,
the reload pass does not handle the output operand. Therefore, the
constraint must allow for that operand to be in memory rather than a
-register. In the example shown above, that is handled by using a loop
-instruction sequence that can handle memory operands when the memory
