If it is done in reload (and imho this is the most right place to do), I think
it would be hard.  It needs some person with a good knowledge of the reload.

It is also possible to do some splitting in other parts of compiler but it
would an approximate solution (it means not all such cases will be avoided
or/and it will hurt performance in general case).
