Agreed.

That's fine on principle, but there is a predicate for this (volatile_insn_p) 
so I think we should use it here.  Moreover, cselib_process_insn has the same 
check so we should adjust it as well, which in turn means that dse.c:scan_insn 
should probably be adjusted too.  OK with these changes, thanks.
