define_insn.

Retested successfully.

        * config/i386/i386.h (ix86_tune_indices): Add
        X86_TUNE_LCP_STALL.
        * config/i386/i386.md (movhi_internal): Split to
        movhi_internal and movhi_imm_internal.
        * config/i386/i386.c (initial_ix86_tune_features): Initialize
        X86_TUNE_LCP_STALL entry.

For reload to work correctly, all alternatives must remain part of the same pattern.
This issue should be handled with the ISA and ENABLED attributes.

I'll also ask if this should better be handled with a peephole2.

While movw $1234,(%eax) might be expensive, is it so expensive that we
*must* force the use of a free register?  Might it be better only to
split the insn in two if and only if a free register exists?

That can easily be done with a peephole2 pattern...
