I took arm/ldmstm.md as an inspiration. See attached machine description for 
PRU that requires the increase. I omitted this machine-generated MD file from 
my first patch set, but per comments will include it in v2.

PRU has a total of 32 32-bit registers with flexible subregister addressing. 
The PRU GCC port represents the register file as 128 individual 8-bit 
registers. Rationale: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2017-01/msg00217.html

Load/store instructions can load anywhere between 1 and 124 consecutive 8-bit 
registers. The load/store-multiple patterns seem to require const_int_operand 
offsets for each loaded register, hence the explosion of operands.

I make no distintion for class - patterns accept any GP register.
