I did something similar in a private port by folding the builtin to

  long long tmp = __super_ld32_dimode (a);
  *x = (int) tmp;
  *y = (int) (tmp >> 32);

Then you create the builtin as returning a DImode, but the lower-subreg 
pass will be able to split the DImode pseudo into non-consecutive hard 
registers.
