Oh, right. I think we still need to "tune" the cost to reflect
actual hardware, but that shouldn't be in the outer condition. So
if (TARGET_DIRECT_MOVE)
{
if (rs6000_tune != PROCESSOR_POWER9)
ret = 4 * hard_regno_nregs (0, mode);
else
ret = 2 * hard_regno_nregs (0, mode);
...
should be good enough.
