We should probably go ahead and install the former for now.

Long term we'll have a jump pass after gcse to clean up jumps
introduced by critical edge splitting or to clean up if/else arms made
unreachable by improved cprop (new optimizations Cygnus will donate
sometime later this year after our customers get a crack at them).

Once we have that code we can just indicate that we need a jump pass
run after gcse when we encounter cases where we wanted to add a
label note.
