It normally does (which I why I hadn't noticed it), but there is no
unconditional version of this in the machine description.

It seems to create a conditional branch so that it can do a move from a
pseudo (that it sets in the branch pattern itself, it's a parallel) to
the AX register.  bb-reorder runs after RA so that move has been folded,
the pseudo itself is in AX already, so both arms of the conditional now
point to the next insn.

I don't know why the backend cannot put AX directly in this pattern (or
while expanding it).  Either way, bb-reorder should be able to handle
the situation.

Uh yes, thanks.
