After Kyrill's patch (r225996) (changing combine to do simplification
before doing some transformations) a shortcoming of the rs6000 backend
becomes obvious: we have no patterns to handle
(set (reg:DI) (lt:DI (reg:SI) (const_int 0)))
although we can do that with a single rotate-and-mask instruction.
Previously, combine usually came up with a more complex pattern (that
we do implement), hiding the issue.
This patch adds a define_insn for the pattern.
