Those aren't conversions, they are just bitcasts, reinterpreting the
same datum as something else, but keeping all bits the same.
The mtvsrws insn moves a SImode value from a GPR to a VSR, splatting it
in all four lanes. You'll typically want a xscvspdpn or similar after
that -- but with the value splat in all lanes it will surely be in the
lane that later instruction needs the data to be in :-)

Is it hard to decribe this without unspec? Unspecs prevent the compiler
from optimising things (unless you very carefully implement all of that
manually -- but if you just write it as plain RTL most things fall into
place automatically).
There are many existing patterns that needlessly and detrimentally use
unspecs, but we should improve on that, not make it worse :-)

This does not require TARGET_POWERPC64?
P9 implies we have direct moves (those are implied by P8 already). We
also do not need to test for vector I think?

Hrm. You can write this with just a subreg, no shift is needed at all.
Can you please try that instead? That is nastiness for endianness, but
that is still preferable over introducing new complexities like this.

(Same issues here as above).

mtvsrws does not need ppc64.

These two do of course.

But this doesn't.
