Makes sense. My first instinct was to do it in expand but since expand does one
gimple statement at a time it might be too much for it to handle since it
probably has to detect the sign extend and promote the type of the register if
there are no conflicting conditions. 

If you suggest where to do this kind of thing I can give it a try.

Thanks.
