Thanks Mark. It seems that a whole new class of internal consistency failures
due to the mishandling of REG_NOTEs in the combiner appeared in 4.1.x (for
example rtl-optimization/28243 and the blocked rtl-optimization/29329) and up.
Richard's patch is the most generic fix available as of today, so backporting
it or not to the 4.1.x branch has cascading effects on the other PRs. Maybe
the problem reported in comment #9 is another variant.
Richard, are you still ready to backport it? If so, I can revert my patch for
rtl-optimization/28243 right now to make things easier.
