Hi,

While looking at a failure with regrename and
mvectorize-with-neon-quad I noticed that the early-clobber in this
vec_pack_trunc pattern is superfluous given that we can use
reg_overlap_mentioned_p to decide in which order we want to emit these
2 instructions. While it works around the problem in regrename.c I
still think that the behaviour in regrename is a bit suspicious and
needs some more investigation.

Refer to my post on gcc@ for more on that particular case.

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2011-08/msg00284.html

I am currently running tests with Ira's patch of this morning

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2011-08/msg01304.html

that turns on mvectorize-with-neon-quad by default to make sure there
are no regressions.

Will commit if no regressions.
