[LLVMdev] how to define extending vector load patterns?

I have an operation which loads a 16 bit block of data as 2 8-bit
elements, sign extends the both parts to 32 bits and stores the result
into 64-bit vector register.
How can I define the pattern for this?
just using [(set V2I32Regs:$result, (sextloadv2i8 ADDRrr:$address))]
gives me error that extloav2i8 is not defined.
(the same principle works for scalar sextload)
So I need to define it from the SDNodes? But how? there is no SDNode for
extload? it's load with some extra parameters?
