[LLVMdev] SplitVecRes with SIGN_EXTEND_INREG unsupported

[Villmow, Micah]

Eli,
 I don't see how this helps with the splitting of the Other node as it isn't the Dest that is the problem, but the second source value. Any place in the code that I can look at on how to split a VTSDNode?

Thanks,
Micah
