+instead of movsd from the stack. This is actually not too bad to implement. The
+best way to do this is to implement a dag combine that turns
+bitconvert(build_pair(load a, load b)) into one load of the right type. The
+only trick to this is writing the predicate that determines that a/b are at the
+right offset from each other. For the enterprising hacker, InferAlignment is a
+helpful place to start poking if interested.
