Given I don't know the AVR port, I don't know what the right condition is. I
was just guessing from the patterns you provided.

You could instead put (clobber (match_scratch)) in the insn, and not split it
until after reload.

In theory the register allocator will eliminate the normal move, and just use
the wrapper.

I tend to think a few more <xxx>_in_progress and <xxx>_completed flags would be
helpful, particularly ira_in_progress or make reload_in_progress be set by ira.
You are probably the first person to run into this. The question is how many
do we want and need?
Note, a few years ago, this type of splitting was not possible. You had to
have all of the match_scratch'es that you would need allocated in the RTL
generation pass. Being able to allocate new psuedos before the split1 pass
certainly makes things easier to do, but there are always things that could be
done better.

I'm not a big fan of this. I think it would be better to just add
ira_in_progress and a few others as needed.
