    target/113255 - avoid REG_POINTER on a pointer difference
    
    The following avoids re-using a register holding a pointer (and
    thus might be REG_POINTER) for the result of a pointer difference
    computation.  That might confuse heuristics in (broken) RTL alias
    analysis which relies on REG_POINTER indicating that we're
    dealing with one.
    
    This alone doesn't fix anything.

            (expand_set_or_cpymem_prologue_epilogue_by_misaligned_moves):
            Use a new pseudo for the skipped number of bytes.
