	emit_move_insn (dst, CONST0_RTX (GET_MODE (dst)));

I think you ought to add a little commentary on why we aren't
just clobbering the register.  Also, there are a few other places
that do similar things.

I think this is probably the best way to solve this problem.
I'd be interested to see if one can measure a performance
difference one way or another on, say, x86.
