+This code is often produced by the SMAX expansion in SCEV:
+
+define i32 @foo(i32 %a) {
+entry:
+        %tmp15 = sub i32 99, %a         ; <i32> [#uses=2]
+        %tmp16 = icmp slt i32 %tmp15, 0         ; <i1> [#uses=1]
+        %smax = select i1 %tmp16, i32 0, i32 %tmp15             ; <i32> [#uses=1]
+        %tmp12 = add i32 %smax, %a              ; <i32> [#uses=1]
+        %tmp13 = add i32 %tmp12, 1              ; <i32> [#uses=1]
+        ret i32 %tmp13
+}
+
+Note that the tmp12 add can be pushed through the select operands, turning
+it into a "select %tmp16, %a, 99".  We apparently already do this in dag 
+combine because it isn't present in X86 output.
