Thanks, committed in that form.  I retested the series on top of it and
the create_tmp_reg causes the later signbit patch (not yet committed)
to regress on:

  signbit(sqrt(x))

which is always 0 for -ffast-math.  The signbit fold first converts it to:

  sqrt(x) < 0

and whether we realise that this is false depends on a race between two
folders: the sqrt comparison folder, which wants to convert it to:

  x < 0*0

and the generic tree_expr_nonnegative_p rule for ... < 0, which would
give the hoped-for 0.

The sqrt code already handles comparisons with negative values specially,
so this patch simply extends that idea to comparisons with zero.

I don't really like patches like this since they'll probably help no
real code, but still...

Tested on x86_64-linux-gnu, aarch64-linux-gnu and arm-linux-gnueabi.
OK to install?

Thanks,
Richard
