Nope, I don't have commit access. Just waiting on someone else to commit it :).

As far as I know, the only way place is used by clang is the
__builtin_expect intrinsic so it's not going to make a difference for
it.

I ran into this in another language frontend (Rust) and ended up
having to figure out why LLVM was just discarding the instruction.
It's easy enough to output a zext/icmp to match clang, but fixing it
here will save someone else from running into this little quirk.
