Re: [PATCH 0/8] make next_*_insn take rtx_insn * arguments

ok, going through all the casts added here I see the following reasons
for them.

- in md files operands is a array of rtx, we should probably have a
  different way to pass insns to the C code here.  That seems worth
  investigating incrementally.

- JUMP_LABEL can be a return which is not an insn.  That also seems
  like something that should be improved at some point.
These just show that fundamentally, rtl is just dynamically typed, and used as such, which is why I was never massively enthusiastic about the rtx -> rtx_insn conversion to begin with.
