Nice - this means that atleast one pending patches for subreg
style operations for neon intrinsics can go in after appropriate tweaking.
of costs. It probably requires some tweaking and benchmarking on ARM, but
the case where we saw such spills to the stack with subreg style operations is
now much improved , indicating that the existing costs infrastructure
manages to get this right atleast for this case.

Richard(S) - If you remember your PR48941 patch - after applying the
lower-subreg patch I now see far better code and what one gets out of
-fno-split-wide-types but a lot of that gratuitous spillng has gone away.

There are still too many moves between Neon registers but there are
far less moves
to the integer side and the gratuitous spilling is now gone.

old on left - new on right ( i.e. Kenneth's patch + Richard's PR48941 patch
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/130429/)
