Ah, I understand now. The answer would be 'no'. If we do the comparison
canonicalization, we wouldn't have to change this InstCombineCasts function
at all.

I actually did start on that path to extend the existing comparison
canonicalization, but then I wondered why vectors were excluded. Then, I
saw that it would probably be a bigger patch, and I would have no idea if
it would harm other targets, so I opted for this patch instead. :)
