Thanks for the (useful) investigation. Makes sense.

Yeah. But I think the fundamental reason that AArch64 defines the
optab is still that it has native support for the associated operation
(which is a good thing, an honest reason). The fact that we split it
apart for if-conversion---in a different form from normal comparisons---
is an implementation detail. So it still seems like a proper optab,
rather than a crutch to convey tree info.

I think the last five lines should just be:
rtx reg = gen_lowpart (<ZEROM>mode, operands[0]);
using paradoxical subregs for the QI and HI cases. Using subregs should
generate better code, since the temporary runs the risk of having the
same value live in two different pseudos at the same time (one pseudo
with the original mode, one pseudo with the extended mode).
OK with that change and without the changes to the zero_extend pattern names.
Thanks,
