[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 8/9] tcg/optimize: prefer the "op a, a, b" form for commutative ops

[Aurelien Jarno]

The "op a, a, b" form is better handled on non-RISC host than the "op
a, b, a" form, so swap the arguments to this form when possible, and
when b is not a constant.

This reduces the number of generated instructions by a tiny bit.
