Complex half-word operations

I'm trying to define a complex half word operation (add:CHI) using the
following RTL:
(define_insn "addchi3"
[(set (match_operand:CHI 0 "register_operand" "=r")
(plus:CHI (match_operand:CHI 1 "register_operand" "r")
(match_operand:CHI 2 "register_operand" "r")))]
""
"cmplxadd\t%1, %2, %0"
[(set_attr "type" "complex")
(set_attr "slot" "s1")
(set_attr "predicable" "no")
(set_attr "length" "4")])
This architecture can perform arithmetic operations on "complex short"
data by packing the real and imaginary parts into two half words of a
32-bit general register.
However, the instruction matcher doesn't seem to generate this RTL at
all. It splits the operation into two half word additions. I have
handled the CHImode in the macros HARD_REGNO_NREGS, and
HARD_REGNO_MODE_OK. How do we tell GCC that the real and imaginary
parts are actually packed into a single register? I tried defining
two RTLs to pack and unpack the two parts using the concat:CHI
operation.
Any help on this is much appreciated.
Thanks
