Yes, of course. The question simply is, why the backend even generates a
XCmode hardreg for outgoing args when HARD_REGNO_MODE_OK doesn't accept
this. That's what I meant with inconsistencies between that definition
and the backends use. It probably should have generated a PARALLEL of
four DImode regs or something.
