Yes, gcc-6 needs the patch too.

After much head-scratching (danger of splinters) I noticed that I'd
written '*?r' in the patch rather than '?*r'.  That explained failures
like gcc.target/powerpc/ppc-vector-memset.c using gprs rather than vrs
for the memset expansion.  According to md.text, '*' says the
following char should be ignored when choosing register preferences.
(Which is a bug, since the advent of multi-char constraints, and
potentially affects us with our use of constraint strings like "?*wb".)
Anyway, what was ignored for reg allocation was the '?', not 'r'.

Also, '*Y' is a bit pointless since 'Y' isn't a register constraint.
The '*' belongs on the corresponding operand 1 'r'.

I also saw ICEs in rs6000_split_multireg_move on a number of
gcc.dg/vmx testcases, but the ICEs disappeared with the constraints
fixed.  I can't give you the exact rtl involved now since my debug
session had a connection timeout, but it was this assert:
		  gcc_assert (GET_CODE (XEXP (dst, 0)) == PLUS
			      && REG_P (basereg)
			      && REG_P (offsetreg)
			      && REGNO (basereg) != REGNO (offsetreg));
and we had an altivec MEM with an AND address for the destination of a
SET with gprs for the source.  Probably quite easily fixed by
stripping off the AND.

The following has now been bootstrapped and regression tested on
powerpc64le-linux.  OK for mainline?

	* gcc/config/rs6000/altivec.md (altivec_mov<mode>): Disparage
	gpr alternatives.  Correct '*' placement on Y,r alternative.
	Add '*' on operand 1 of r,r alternative.
