I'm not an FP expert, but I think we have enough information to do this right
now.  The evrp dump now has:

=========== BB 2 ============
Imports: y_2  
Exports: y_2  
    <bb 2> :
    y_2 = x_1(D) * x_1(D);
    if (y_2 >= 0.0)
      goto <bb 3>; [INV]
    else
      goto <bb 4>; [INV]

2->3  (T) y_2 :         [frange] float [0.0,  Inf] !NAN 
2->4  (F) y_2 :         [frange] float [ -Inf, 0.0] 


=========== BB 3 ============
y_2     [frange] float [0.0,  Inf] !NAN 
    <bb 3> :
    _6 = __builtin_sqrtf (y_2);
    return _6;

Which means that y_2 is known to be [0.0, Inf] excluding a NAN.

What needs to happen for the call to __builtin_sqrtf to be optimized to sqrtss?
