+InstCombine should use SimplifyDemandedBits to remove the or instruction:
+
+define i1 @test(i8 %x, i8 %y) {
+ %A = or i8 %x, 1
+ %B = icmp ugt i8 %A, 3
+ ret i1 %B
+}
+
+Currently instcombine calls SimplifyDemandedBits with either all bits or just
+the sign bit, if the comparison is obviously a sign test. In this case, we only
+need all but the bottom two bits from %A, and if we gave that mask to SDB it
+would delete the or instruction for us.
