 As in the cover letter: we have a case where the pipeline seems to imply 
high enough a branch penalty for branchless alternatives to be worth 
considering even where built from more than just a couple instructions.  
We yet have to fully evaluate it for our case and it may be that these 
sequences are costlier than branches after all or that the boundary lies 
somewhere in between (or that we end up with Zicond also available in the 
CPU RTL).  However we realised that combined with `-mbranch-cost=' it 
might be a useful tool for performance evaluation for other people as 
well.

 This, combined with the branch costing issues observed earlier and 
attempted to address with 09/44, is also why I chose, conservatively, to 
add the `-mmovcc' option to control this feature: we may choose to flip it 
on by default for some tuning architectures or even globally at one point.  
Especially as it seems like the `addMODEcc' part could be profitable for 
some architectures already.

  Maciej
