​Our backend only support load/store for i64 type, hence i64 is not legal
for us.
I guess Peter's Epiphany arch has similar situation.​

IIRC, LLVM expand load i64 to two load i32. Right now, we have to custom
lowering load i64 to load v2i32, then map v2i32 to the tuple register
(similar
to Sparc backend). How can we use the tuple register for those two i32?
​Any existing example?
