Thank you for the sample code.

I'll be trying to implement those patterns, although I think that I will have to adjust the constraints and predicates again because the PMULTH instruction requires access to the whole LO and HI registers (0...128).
The current constraints allow GCC to access the 64-bit LO+HI register pair as a single 128-bit register, so I am cheating by using both the x and wr (new constraint for LO1+HI1) constraints.
Hopefully, the addition of such a multiplication pattern that involves parallel multiplication operations will not result in many more obscure problems. :/


Thanks and regards,
