I think that it answers both questions.  Again, unless the target cam perform the comparison against a constant implicit in the corresponding instruction, then this transform provides no improvement.  IOW, only if the target does not have to materialize the constant for the comparison does it make sense to not materialize it for the selection.  Otherwise, if it has to be materialzied for one, it will likely be around to be used for the other.
