>From config/i386/mmx.md: 
 
;; Note!  Except for the basic move instructions, *all* of these 
;; patterns are outside the normal optabs namespace.  This is because 
;; use of these registers requires the insertion of emms or femms 
;; instructions to return to normal fpu mode.  The compiler doesn't 
;; know how to do that itself, which means it's up to the user.  Which 
;; means that we should never use any of these patterns except at the 
;; direction of the user via a builtin.
