Thanks. I keep forgetting that I have grep at my disposal :) What I'm not
clear about is the first parameter in CopyFromReg node.  0x3283608: i32,ch
= CopyFromReg 0x3257980, 0x3283500 [ORD=1]. Based on the comments for
CopyFromReg, if I understand it correctly, there should be 1 input, virtual
or physical register, which is what is given in the pattern as a second
argument. So what is the first one. What does it do?
