Well, changing the peephole2 so that it handles both of the above at the same
time shall be quite easy.

And adding a peephole for this case too.

The question is what the code size differences would be with those changes
(i.e. how often does it help not to have *movsi_compare0 make RA decisions
worse vs. how often we actually have those two instructions separated by other
insns).
