This is similar to the "long long" problem for 32 bits x86 targets. We
keep the instructions in TImode all the way down until flow2, which made
sense in the pre-GCC4 era, when this was the only way to make optimizing
possible for arithmetic in machine modes not representable on the target
machine. With the new high-level optimizers we don't really need this
anymore, we should just lower to machine instructions in expand and let
the RTL path do its job to optimize this better.
