[LLVMdev] Paired register allocation problem

It makes sense to have such pseudo-instructions up to RA - this
simplifies many things alot. However, one can do a post-RA Machine
Instruction pass and split such pseudo-instructions into "normal"
ones. post-RA scheduler will be happy to schedule the single
instructions to ensure necessary latencies.

This is already done for movt/movw pairs on ARM.
