This is neither obvious nor correct.  It is safe, I guess, but that's
rather beside the point.

You _really_ need to give a better description of the problem.  Or in
this case, any description whatsoever.  You have a very bad habit of
not documenting your patches, and it annoys me every time you do it.

>From the barest of commentary that you do add, "all others" sounds like
a catch-all exception filter, which is hardly unique to Ada, and has a
representation that does not contain const1_rtx.  Therefore I have zero
confidence that you know what you're doing.

Please revert.
