What about the name for function? Best one I can come with
is emit_condtional_move, but it is already used :)

I am looking for recognizing as often as possible the other cases.
For instance many conditional moves may turn out to be set flags
instructions and similar.
For this I want to know if operands are constant.
Also such function seems to be only resonable place to do optimizations
like (a==b?a:b) to "a".
I've just checked that such tests (if written using if, not ?) get
as far as to ifcvt, where they seems to get converted to conditional move
that is later zapped.
