You're right.  Seems to me that the return value for move_insn should
always be the return value from the first call to reemit_notes.  Correct?

In which case it's pretty simple to record the return value from
the first call to reemit_notes.

And I don't doubt you had good reasons to use two loops; I just want
to make absolutely sure I understand the problem.  Handling of notes
and SCHED_GROUP_P insns have both been particularly difficult areas
of the scheduler to implement correctly.

Agreed.

I'm all for it.

Well, haifa does both forward and backward analysis -- so it might
just move the problematical code elsewhere in the scheduler.
