This is too restrictive.  gcc wants to be able to store larger values in
registers--in the case of SCmode, a 64-bit value.  gcc will handle this
as a pair of consecutive registers, but you need to tell it that that is
OK.  Typically you would say that a 64-bit value may be stored in any
even register number, or in any register.
