Here is a new version based on feedback both on the list and off.
I added a check for alignment to greater than 8 bytes as that is
alignment < 8 causes the slow down.
I also added two new testcases testing this to make sure it did the
load pair optimization when it is profitable.
OK? Bootstrapped and tested on aarch64-linux-gnu with no regressions.
Thanks,

ChangeLog:
* config/aarch64/aarch64-tuning-flags.def (slow_ldpw): New tuning option.
* config/aarch64/aarch64.c (thunderx_tunings): Enable
AARCH64_EXTRA_TUNE_SLOW_LDPW.
(aarch64_operands_ok_for_ldpstp): Return false if
AARCH64_EXTRA_TUNE_SLOW_LDPW and the mode was SImode
and the alignment is less than 8 byte.
(aarch64_operands_adjust_ok_for_ldpstp): Likewise.
testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gcc.target/aarch64/thunderxloadpair.c: New testcase.
* gcc.target/aarch64/thunderxnoloadpair.c: New testcase.
