Hi Richard,

Yes in principle zero extract should always be positive assuming we never
extract all bits (= nop). GCC never generates a zero extend of the top bits
(it becomes a shift), so I don't think it can be generated.

However I'll change it to use CC_Z in the commit since signed comparisons
of zero extend seem to be folded to equality (or true/false), so there is no
point in supporting anything but equality comparisons anyway.

Cheers,
Wilco
