I would prefer this sort of pass to run before register allocation
otherwise the chances of combining these insns gets slim since the
register constraints are usually tighter on multi-pack insns.

Well we could restrict these "foreign" insns to be moves.  I'm finding
that the incoming register arguments get poorly copied to the
corresponding arguments of a nested call.
