>Description:
compile the follow source with gcc testaltivect1.c -include altivec.h -maltivec -O3 and see that there is `li r2, 0` which is useless.
int f(int a, int *c, vector signed int v1) {
    vec_ste(v1, 0, c);
    return a;
}
comes out:
_f:
        li r5,0
        stvewx v2,r5,r4
        blr

when it is faster and smaller to do this:
_f:
        stvewx v2,0,r4
        blr
>How-To-Repeat:
See Description
>Fix:
add or fix the altivec patterns for load/store index so that they allow one register as memory.
