Insns can still be split after scheduling, which makes it a bit 
problematic to know which opcode will be produced.

You can use an attribute for that: what most GCC schedulers do is have 
an attribute that maps to the functional unit where the instruction 
goes, and then define an automaton that specifies the latency, the 
length of each functional unit's reservations and so on.  However, I 
suggest that you use a newer version because I don't think this 
technique was available in 3.2.3 (and the old-style scheduler 
descriptions were removed in 4.0 after all the descriptions were upgraded).
