But this is a simple reload of the value into a register; you shouldn't
need any of the 'special stuff' for that.

>(Q is my "doesn't belong to a structure" constraint)

Simply define 'Q' as a normal EXTRA_CONSTRAINT, and rewrite the pattern as

(set (match_operand 0 "nonimmediate_operand" "=Qr")
     (plus (match_operand 1 "general_operand" "Qr")
           (match_operand 2 "general_operand" "Qr")))

so that reload will know it can reload into a register in case the 'Q'
doesn't match exactly.
