It isn't.

Looking at the final code in the pr, it looks like we if-convert both ways,
just with changed condition on the test.

It looks like there are at least 3 peepholes in the arm backend that match
compare+branch with a scratch register that are affected by this.  I don't
think it's reasonable to expect a peephole to match compare + n cond_exec
insns, so running peep2 before if-conversion would seem to be called for.

Kai, why does your indirect jump peephole require pass_reorder_blocks?  It
seems to me that instead of moving peephole2 down, we could move
duplicate_computed_gotos up.
