It is a sanity check to verify that the operands are accepted by the add
instruction's predicates.  Note this is completely and totally different
from constraints.

So, if you have to generate this kind of instruction what do you do?  I
would guess that you have to load ctr into a scratch register?

If so, you probably need to add support for this to SECONDARY_RELOAD_CLASS.
You should find out if if ry + ctr is ever passed to SECONDARY_RELOAD_CLASS
then see what (if anything) it returns for a scratch register.

Also note you may need to add support for handling this case to reload_insi.
