Following what DAG did if it's known not to be optimal probably isn't the best. DAG would promote integers but widen floats. GlobalISel loses type information so needs to pick one to use for both. I think in the long run we might want pick one (I was originally thinking widening), and fixup the places where it doesn't work so well.

Is the falling back due to G_ANYEXT not being handled? What would it take to make that work?
