Hmm, it seems not really possible as at now.  expand_divmod does
something like:

  max_cost = (unsignedp
          ? udiv_cost (speed, compute_mode)
          : sdiv_cost (speed, compute_mode));

which is reading the pre-calculated costs from a table.  Thus we don't
really know the denominator and cannot estimate the cost based on it :(.

CSE really invokes the cost hook with the actual (mod (a, (const_int
1000000007)) RTX but it's less important.
