If you give up the ability to go ahead and match target specific patterns
while dealing with generic RTL.  

The idea behind being able to match target specific patterns was to avoid
even trying to lower insns which are already known to match a pattern 
specific to the target.

I don't think you'd need to expose both generic and target RTL patterns
to genattrtab since attributes are generally related to low level target
specific stuff (scheduling, insn lengths, delay slots, etc).
