Update note, with the SROA change, we now produce:

_pairtest:
        movl 8(%esp), %eax
        movl 4(%esp), %ecx
        movd %eax, %xmm0
        movd %ecx, %xmm1
        addss %xmm0, %xmm1
        movl 12(%esp), %eax
        movss %xmm1, (%eax)
        ret

instead of:

_pairtest:
        subl $12, %esp
        movl 20(%esp), %eax
        movl %eax, 4(%esp)
        movl 16(%esp), %eax

        movss %xmm0, (%eax)
        addl $12, %esp

 nicer, while still handling the hard cases.
