I've found it useful to use a construct such as the following:
(define_attr "units64"
"unknown,d,d_addr,l,m,s,dl,ds,dls,ls"
(const_string "unknown"))
(define_attr "units64p"
"unknown,d,d_addr,l,m,s,dl,ds,dls,ls"
(attr "units64"))
to define one attribute in terms of another by default, allowing
individual insn patterns to override the definition of "units64p" where
necessary. This patch adds support for this in genattrtab.

in terms of another.
