Instead of having a bunch of separate MOV8r0, MOV16r0, ... pseudo-instructions,
it's better to use a single MOV32r0 (which will expand to "xorl %reg, %reg")
and obtain other sizes with EXTRACT_SUBREG and SUBREG_TO_REG. The encoding is
smaller and partial register updates can sometimes be avoided.
Until recently, this sequence was a barrier to rematerialization though. That
should now be fixed so it's an appropriate time to make the change.

at the start of basic blocks to their common predecessor. It's actually quite
common (e.g. about 50 times in JM/lencod) and has shown to be a nice code size
benefit. e.g.
pushq %rax
testl %edi, %edi
jne LBB0_2
## BB#1:
xorb %al, %al
popq %rdx
ret
LBB0_2:
xorb %al, %al
callq _foo
popq %rdx
ret
=>
pushq %rax
xorb %al, %al
testl %edi, %edi
je LBB0_2
## BB#1:
callq _foo
LBB0_2:
popq %rdx
