 associated with the comparison. Perhaps a pseudo-instruction for the comparison,
 with a post-codegen pass to clean up and handle the condition codes?
 See PR5694 for testcase.

+int test1(int A, int B) {
+  return (A&-8388481)|(B&8388480);

+We currently generate:

+	ldr	r2, .LCPI0_1

+	orr	r0, r1, r0

+We should be able to replace the second ldr+and with a bic (i.e. reuse the
+constant which was already loaded).  Not sure what's necessary to do that.
