The peephole pass does not do register allocation.  So you can't use it 
to magically change "r" registers to "c" registers.  What you are trying 
to do here won't work.

If you are willing and able to do your own register allocation, then you 
might be able to get this to work, but this is very unlikely to be a 
good solution.

You probably shouldn't be using peepholes here.  You probably should be 
generating the insns you want during initial RTL generation.
