Prototype patch

Attached patch works around reload problem and creates:

        movl    %edi, %eax
        movb    %dil, %al
        addb    %al, %al
        ret

for all cases. Please note that some follow-up pass is needed to remove
"movb %dil, %al", since preceding instruction already moves full value from
%edi to %eax, so partial move is not needed.
