patch doesn't offer any speed-up on ppc64 (doesn't break anything

Perhaps you hit this?

if (REG_P (XEXP (XEXP (note, 0), 0)))

unsigned int regno = REGNO (XEXP (XEXP (note, 0), 0));

You are right, and I noticed that if we reverse (actually put straight)
the loop for the PARALLEL defs inside df_defs_record() then the speedup
stands for both x86 and ppc64.
The following patch was tested on x86, do you think it is meaningful for
the generic case?
