I'm not sure.

My guess is that the only interesting optimization for ADC/SBC is when
optimization determines that the low-part of op2 is zero, so that we can fold

  [(set (reg cc) (compare ...))
   (set (reg t0) (sub (reg a0) (reg b0))]

  [(set (reg cc) (compare ...))
   (set (reg t1) (sub (reg a1)
		   (sub (reg b1)
		     (geu (reg cc) (const 0)))))]

to

  [(set (reg t0) (reg a0)]

  [(set (reg cc) (compare ...))
   (set (reg t1) (sub (reg a1) (reg b1))]

which combine should be able to do by propagating zeros across the compare+geu.

Though I suppose it's still possible to handle this with unspecs and
define_split, so that

  [(set (reg cc)
        (unspec [(reg a1) (reg b2) (geu ...)]
        UNSPEC_SBCS)
   (set (reg t1) ...)]

when the geu folds to (const_int 0), we can split this to a plain sub.

I'll see if I can make this work with a minimum of effort.
