+Improve codegen for select's:
+if (x != 0) x = 1
+if (x == 1) x = 1
+
+ARM codegen used to look like this:
+ mov r1, r0
+ cmp r1, #1
+ mov r0, #0
+ moveq r0, #1
+
+The naive lowering select between two different values. It should recognize the
+test is equality test so it's more a conditional move rather than a select:
+ cmp r0, #1
+ movne r0, #0
+
+Currently this is a ARM specific dag combine. We probably should make it into a
+target-neutral one.
