+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #55981 +++
As suggested in the parent bug, this is a separate report dealing specifically
with splitting of a 64-bit volatile (not necessarily atomic) store of an
immediate value into 32-bit accesses. Comment 10 of the original report says:

It looks to me that volatiles should not be allowed as offsetable operands, but
let's discuss this in a separate PR.
