The gcc_unreachable at the end catches the non-mem to non-mem case.

But if you prefer this, how about

{
  gcc_assert (MEM_P (dest) ^ MEM_P (src));
  gcc_assert (GET_MODE (dest) == V4SImode && GET_MODE (src) == V4SImode);

  if (MEM_P (dest))
    return gen_altivec_stvx_v4si_internal (dest, src);
  else
    return gen_altivec_lvx_v4si_internal (dest, src);
}
