I found out, that some SDNodes are not passed to the ::Select(SDNode*N), approximately 11 nodes are missing. The first add-node (v1+v2) is missing.

And what about view-sched-dags?
This one should give you what has been selected. So if this is not correct, you have indeed a problem in the selection problem.
If that is the case, you can use -debug-only=isel to help you figuring out what is the problem.

Now, the variables v1 and v2 are loaded, but they are not used (no ADD instructions) and a MOVE instruction register to register is generated that uses itself as an operand. This register should be stored and should be used as function result.
