[llvm-dev] Lowering Select to Two Predicated Movs

[Dilan Manatunga via llvm-dev]

My bad for not looking further. I'm still somewhat confused though. MOVCCr
gets expanded in the ARMExpandPseudoInsts pass, and it still seems only a
case of one instruction replacing the other.

My worry of emitting two instructions, is that a dead code pass will
eliminate the first instruction cause it thinks the second instruction is
defining the same register.
