+        (sqrt:<ssescalarmode>
+          (match_operand:<ssescalarmode> 1 "vector_operand"
"xBm,<round_scalar_constraint>")))
+      (match_operand:VF_128 2 "register_operand" "0,v")
+      (const_int 1)))]

vector_operand and Bm are needed for vector mode operands. This is in
effect scalar operand, so nonimmediate_operand and simple "xm" should
be used here.

+(define_insn "*sse_vmrsqrtv4sf2"
+  [(set (match_operand:V4SF 0 "register_operand" "=x,x")
+    (vec_merge:V4SF
+      (vec_duplicate:V4SF
+        (unspec:SF [(match_operand:SF 1 "nonimmediate_operand" "xm,xm")]
+                 UNSPEC_RSQRT))
+      (match_operand:V4SF 2 "register_operand" "0,x")
+      (const_int 1)))]
+  "TARGET_SSE"
+  "@
+   rsqrtss\t{%1, %0|%0, %k1}
+   vrsqrtss\t{%1, %2, %0|%0, %2, %k1}"

No need for %k modifier. We already have scalar size 4 SFmode operand
that will genereate DWORD PTR.

+(define_insn "*avx512f_rndscale<mode><round_saeonly_name>"
+  [(set (match_operand:VF_128 0 "register_operand" "=v")
+    (vec_merge:VF_128
+      (vec_duplicate:VF_128
+        (unspec:<ssescalarmode>
+          [(match_operand:<ssescalarmode> 2
"<round_saeonly_nimm_predicate>" "<round_saeonly_constraint>")
+           (match_operand:SI 3 "const_0_to_255_operand")]
+          UNSPEC_ROUND))
+          (match_operand:VF_128 1 "register_operand" "v")
+      (const_int 1)))]
+  "TARGET_AVX512F"
+  "vrndscale<ssescalarmodesuffix>\t{%3, <round_saeonly_op4>%2, %1,
%0|%0, %1, %<iptr>2<round_saeonly_op4>, %3}"

There is no need for <iptr> override for scalar mode operands in the
above and other new patterns,

Looking into sse.md, there is a lot of inconsistencies in existing *vm
patterns w.r.t. operand constraints. Unfortunately, these were copied
into proposed patterns. One example is existing

(define_insn "<sse>_vmsqrt<mode>2<mask_scalar_name><round_scalar_name>"
  [(set (match_operand:VF_128 0 "register_operand" "=x,v")
    (vec_merge:VF_128
      (sqrt:VF_128
        (match_operand:VF_128 1 "vector_operand"
"xBm,<round_scalar_constraint>"))
      (match_operand:VF_128 2 "register_operand" "0,v")
      (const_int 1)))]
  "TARGET_SSE"
  "@
   sqrt<ssescalarmodesuffix>\t{%1, %0|%0, %<iptr>1}

Due to combine benefits, *vm operands to be merged is described in
vector mode. Since the insn operates in scalar mode, there is no need
for "vector_operand" and Bm constraint that impose more strict
alignment requirements. However, iptr modifier is needed here to
override VF_128 vector mode (e.g. V4SFmode) to generate scalar
(SFmode, DWORD PTR) memory access prefix.

Someone should fix these existing inconsistencies in a follow-up patch.

Uros.
