Currently using the match_scratch predicate on a destination operand will trigger the warning
 
                    "warning: destination operand 0 allows non-lvalue",
 
This happends because add_predicate_code()  will set the pred->allows_non_lvalue when
it encounters a SCRATCH rtx code which subsequently triggers the above genrecog warning/

    * gensupport.c:: (add_predicate_code) Also exclude SCRATCH from rtx codes which allow
     non-lvalues.

My question would be in what context does it make sense to use a SCRATCH 
as a destination?

Do you have a multi-output insn where you need to allocate a reg for one 
of the outputs, but you never use that output value?  Or is it something 
totally different?

SCRATCH as an rtx code is painfully under-documented.  Though I think 
treating it just like a REG in add_predicate_code probably makes sense.

Approved.  Graham, do you still have write access to the repo?
