IMHO we should try to have the same behavior as gcc and clang. When they 
differ we might decide to follow either one or the other, except if there is a 
standard stating what is the right behavior.

Indeed, such a structure qualify as 64-bit containerized vector. I handled 
that case when I added support for the hard float calling convention. You can 
see the is_float_hgen_aggr function that test this.
