I'm ask about code size because the IRA pass isn't work with
`scratch:MODE' at all.
This lead to bad/wrong register allocation in IRA pass.
The reload pass will correct such a wrong allocation, but reload can't
generate optimal code. (reload generate correct code).
Because of that, may be you right and may be better to have
(clobber (match_operand....)) instead of (clobber (match_scratch...)).
Denis.
