Oh well, I guess having two different patterns would be the 
best way to solve this problem.  We don't have an instruction
to implement strncmp semantics on s390 unfortunately (however
we do have an instruction to implement strcmp - CLST - which
is currently not used at all by gcc ...).

B.t.w. the i370 cmpstr pattern behaves the same as the s390 one
in that respect.
