Different addressing modes?

You may want to go back and read the Compiler internals documentation
where it talks about 'predicate' functions (such as general_operand,
nonimmediate_operand' that you can use to fine-tune what RTL the insns
patterns your port will accept.

As an example, in gcc/config/m68k/m68k.md, the 'pushasi' pattern is
used to push the address of a varaible/function, etc, and you can see
that the destination target predicate of the 'set' is push_operand
which restricts the RTL to only allow a push to the stack as the
destination, and specifies that the source of the 'set' is an
address_operand, a combination of predicates that are valid for the
pea instruction:

(define_insn "pushasi"
  [(set (match_operand:SI 0 "push_operand" "=m")
	(match_operand:SI 1 "address_operand" "p"))]
  ""
  "pea %a1")
