IMO, handling of mask registers can be improved overall. However, we have to
start somewhere, and for 4.9 the implementation is "good enough" to move things
forward. On the condition that nothing regresses, of course.

The perfection will be reached incrementally in later revisions. Your patch is
in the right direction, but probably requires various cost function
improvements and some fine tuning of constraints. I believe that compiler
should be able to choose correct instructions on its own, without crippling the
move pattern with UNSPEC.
