+Compile this:

+int %f1(int %a, int %b) {
+ %tmp.1 = and int %a, 15 ; <int> [#uses=1]
+ %tmp.3 = and int %b, 240 ; <int> [#uses=1]
+ %tmp.4 = or int %tmp.3, %tmp.1 ; <int> [#uses=1]
+ ret int %tmp.4

+ or r3, r2, r2

+The two-addr pass or RA needs to learn when it is profitable to commute an
+instruction to avoid a copy AFTER the 2-addr instruction. The 2-addr pass
+currently only commutes to avoid inserting a copy BEFORE the two addr instr.
