I'm sorry, I forgot to mention that it was just a proof of concept hack
of mine, just to see whether it has any chance to work at all.
I think it would be better to change/fix the behavior of the combine pass
in this regard, so that it tries matching combined patterns without
sophisticated transformations. I will try asking on the gcc list about that.

Yep, even if it turned out to be actually only 8 patterns in total, but
still.. I haven't looked at the issue with SH4A but most likely it would add
another one or two patterns... so basically ~10 :)

I think it would be a bit too much checking out each individual pattern.
Instead I grouped them into what they are effectively doing.
While I was at it, I also added your peephole idea, and a top 10 listing of
the individual files.
