We also want to optimise tests like this: return a*b == 0. The MULS
instruction is flag setting, so we don't need the CMP instruction but can
instead branch on the result of the MULS. The generated instructions sequence
for this example was: MULS, MOVS, MOVS, CMP. The MOVS instruction load the
boolean values resulting from the select instruction, but these MOVS
instructions are flag setting and were thus preventing this optimisation. Now
we first reorder and move the MULS to before the CMP and generate sequence
MOVS, MOVS, MULS, CMP so that the optimisation could trigger. Reordering of the
MULS and MOVS is safe to do because the subsequent MOVS instructions just set
the CPSR register and don't use it, i.e. the CPSR is dead.
