Gentlepeople,

I have a two-operand divide instruction that takes a double length dividend in 
a register pair, and produces the quotient in the first register and remainder 
in the second.

How do I write a divmod pattern for that?  The quotient is easy enough, I write 
a match_operand for that register and a matching constraint ("0") for the input 
dividend.  But what about the remainder?  The remainder appears in a register 
that isn't explicitly mentioned in the RTL (it's the regnum one higher than the 
quotient, or if you like, the second subreg of the input (dividend) register.

I can make it a define_expand that adds a move from the remainder register into 
a new register which is the output operand, and count on the optimizer to 
optimize away that move.  Is that the best answer?  The current "mod" pattern 
does that, and I could keep that approach.
