[Bug target/28366] New: Divide with vectors cause extra stores (and more stack space) (with VMX)

["pinskia at gcc dot gnu dot org" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

Compile the following code with -maltivec -O2 -mabi=altivec -m64:
#define vector __attribute__((vector_size(16)))
vector float f(vector float t, vector float t1)
{
  return t / t1;
}
We currently get:
        addi 9,1,-36
        stvewx 2,0,9
        addi 9,1,-20
        stvewx 3,0,9
        addi 9,1,-144
        stvewx 2,0,9
        addi 9,1,-128
        stvewx 3,0,9
        addi 9,1,-108
        stvewx 2,0,9
        addi 9,1,-92
        stvewx 3,0,9
        addi 9,1,-72
        stvewx 2,0,9
        addi 9,1,-56
        stvewx 3,0,9
        addi 9,1,-16
....

Which is storing out each element of the vector one by one, instead of just
storing the whole vector out:
stvx 2, ...
stvx 3, ...
