Absolutely. This code doesn't belong in InstCombine. This code isn't even the code we would use if we had a real sinking pass. This is a very simple sinking algorithm. It only moves code to an immediate successor and it has a bogus one use check in it. I think we should have a real sinking pass. lib/Transforms/Scalar/Sink.cpp is probably a good starting point, I believe its only used by one target today. I think adding a disable here is a good first step towards being able to experiment with a real sinking pass.
