But the point of the gen_int_mode patch is that (for better or worse)
CONST_INT is the right choice of rtx for constant CC values.  I'd like
eventually to get rid of all GEN_INT callers, and some of those callers
will sometimes or always be handling CC modes.  This would then crop up
again in a legitimate context.

IMO, cse.c was buggy not because it was trying to generate a CCmode
CONST_INT, but because anchor optimisations involve addition, which
isn't defined for CC modes.

I think gen_int_mode should do the right thing for all CONST_INT modes.
gen_int_mode (X, MODE) should really be the moral equivalent of
gen_rtx_CONST_INT (MODE, X), despite the confusingly-swapped parameters.
