Possible.  Maybe first enable a warning for the case with not starting
with "&& "
to give maintainers a chance to fix them and only then do the mass change
to separate define_insn and define_split to avoid churn in the .md files.  Well
maintained ports should be quick to fixup themselves.

And some cases might even be obvious.
