Yes, I was referring as "using constraints in the define_insn". But
you're dong that as far as I see.

Yes, a split1 sounds much better. It will give much more freedom to
reload and the register allocation to do exactly the liveness-based kind
of optimization that you're doing with a peephole.

I don't understand why you mentioned match_scratch :) anyway note that a
parallel of SET and CLOBBERs is a single_set.
