Question about GO_IF_LEGITIMIZE_ADDRESS

Nope.  'a' is used to indicate that the value the operand (or what the
operand points at) goes into an address register.  If you have the
constraint string of "ma", then it indicates that that operand can
either be in memory("m"), or in an address register("a").  What I need
is a way of indicaing that the operand is in memory, but needs to be
accessed via register indirect.

I'm wondering if I can steal what I did for movsf where I pushed the
symbol_ref to a register, something like:

(define_expand "movsf"
  [(set (match_operand:SF 0 "nonimmediate_operand" "")
	(match_operand:SF 1 "general_operand" ""))]
  ""
  "
{
  if (TARGET_CFV4E) {
      /* Don't allow writes to memory except via a register;
	 the m68k doesn't consider PC-relative addresses to be writable.  */
      if (GET_CODE (operands[0]) == MEM
	  && symbolic_operand (XEXP (operands[0], 0), SImode))
	operands[0] = gen_rtx (MEM, SFmode,
			       force_reg (SImode, XEXP (operands[0], 0)));
  }
")
