this one is bad since gcc10.1 and there's no subreg, The problem is if the
operand is used by more than 1 insn, and they all support separate m
constraint, mem_cost is quite small(just 1, reg move cost is 2), and this makes
RA more inclined to propagate memory across insns. I guess RA assumes the
separate m means the insn only support memory_operand?

962 /* Although we don't need insn to reload from
963 memory, still accessing memory is usually more
964 expensive than a register. */
