argument. The x86-64 ABI requires the incoming value of %rdi to
be copied to %rax on exit from a function that is returning a
large C struct.
Also, add a README-X86-64 entry detailing the missed optimization
opportunity and proposing an alternative approach.

stack slot and store if the SINT_TO_FP is actually legal. This allows
us to compile:
double a(double b) {return (unsigned)b;}
to:
_a:
cvttsd2siq %xmm0, %rax
movl %eax, %eax
cvtsi2sdq %rax, %xmm0
ret
instead of:
_a:
subq $8, %rsp
cvttsd2siq %xmm0, %rax
movl %eax, %eax
cvtsi2sdq %rax, %xmm0
addq $8, %rsp
ret
crazy.

_test:
movl %edi, %eax
ret
instead of:
_test:
movl $4294967295, %ecx
movq %rdi, %rax
andq %rcx, %rax
ret
It would be great to write this as a Pat pattern that used subregs
instead of a 'pseudo' instruction, but I don't know how to do that
in td files.
