Only when the logic should have triggered, i.e with MMX and SSE regs but not 
with general regs since it doesn't trigger for them.

Big patch.

Well, there aren't too many possibilities:
- either we prevent such invalid subregs from being created in the first 
place (but it appears that doing so brings about collateral damages in the 
form of (subreg:SI xmm:DI 0) being now rejected?),
- or we restore the machinery that was able to handle them.
