Thank you for working on this PR.

Yes, satisfying all constraints is major goal of reload/LRA.

I think we should ignore elimination here (in operand matching).  The final
elimination is not guaranteed.  We will create additional reloads (reg moves)
in case of ignoring elimination but they will be removed if the elimination
really happens.

Peter, please go ahead and try this approach.  If it works I'll approve the
patch.
