The above is definitely wrong, I think it will penalize e.g. Power6/7
a lot.
Even if this was fixed, I'm not sure it is always the correct thing to
do, because it would override swap_commutative_operands_with_target. If
the target is memory, you'd want the memory to come first.
I was unaware of swap_commutative_operands_with_target, therefore the
patch change makes things a lot trickier.
In other words, there is no right answer as to whether REG or MEM should
come first.
I think the register allocator will generate good code using % if you
make your predicate nonimmediate_operand in operand 1:
(define_insn "iorqi3"
[(set (match_operand:QI 0 "register_operand" "=c")
(ior:QI (match_operand:QI 1 "nonimmediate_operand" "%0")
(match_operand:QI 2 "general_operand" "cwmi")))
(clobber (reg:CC RCC))]
"register_operand(operands[1], QImode) ||
register_operand(operands[2], QImode)"
"or\\t%0,%f2")

Yes, I think in general that seems to be the right procedure. In my
case, unfortunately it does not work.
The reason is that it allows:
(set (reg:QI ...)
(ior:QI (mem:QI (reg:QI ...))
(mem:QI (reg:QI ...))))
This wouldn't in general be a problem except that my backend only has
one register that can be used for a memory dereference, which means that
BASE_REG_CLASS is a class with a single register.
This seriously breaks IRA, which doesn't have two registers to allocate
for that rule.
I always try to change my backend before changing my port of GCC and
unfortunately in this case I saw no alternative my to change
commutative_operand_precedence. It might be the wrong solution in the
general case, therefore just disregard it.
