	Give the man a cigar!

	I don't have a movstrsi expander (actually, it would be a movstrqi, as the machine has
	32-bit bytes.)  But I think this is the best idea.

	(The only other idea that I investigated was to use PQImode, but that has the undesired effect of
	requiring me to write patterns for addpqi, cmppqi, etc.)

	Thanks,
	Al
