instcombine, however this transform is only correct if you are adding -0.0
so you won't get it without "fast math", and in 3.2 I think it will only be
done by codegen (llc).  The situation should be better in 3.3 since a bunch
of fast-math support started going in to the IR level transforms.

Please open a bug report since even in mainline this transform isn't done yet
(as fast-math support at the IR level only just got going).

Ciao, Duncan.
