It's decided by many factors: instruction isa requirement, possible
register allocation for the alternative, also how
recog_memoized(constrain_operands) decide which_alternative.
For *vec_extractv2ti the alternative is implicitly guarded by
ix86_hard_regno_ok and no need for explicit isa attribute.
