+This testcase misses a read/modify/write opportunity (from PR1425):
+
+void vertical_decompose97iH1(int *b0, int *b1, int *b2, int width){
+ int i;
+ for(i=0; i<width; i++)
+ b1[i] += (1*(b0[i] + b2[i])+0)>>0;
+}
+
+We compile it down to:
+
+LBB1_2: # bb
+ movl (%esi,%edi,4), %ebx
+ addl (%ecx,%edi,4), %ebx
+ addl (%edx,%edi,4), %ebx
+ movl %ebx, (%ecx,%edi,4)
+ incl %edi
+ cmpl %eax, %edi
+ jne LBB1_2 # bb
+
+the inner loop should add to the memory location (%ecx,%edi,4), saving
+a mov. Something like:
+
+ movl (%esi,%edi,4), %ebx
+ addl (%edx,%edi,4), %ebx
+ addl %ebx, (%ecx,%edi,4)
+
+Additionally, LSR should rewrite the exit condition of the loop to use
+a stride-4 IV, would would allow all the scales in the loop to go away.
+This would result in smaller code and more efficient microops.
