Sure, that gets you a closer match.  It does mean that the number
of matches will really drop -- reload can't force hard regs to memory
as a reload.

Of course, PPro/P2 greatly dislikes int->fp conversion combined with
another operation.  It's worth considering disabling that operation
entirely for newer cpus.
