Description

_From [derek.br...@gmail.com](https://code.google.com/u/117968039472581148324/) on December 10, 2010 17:58:14_

PR 503782

movzx 1-to-4 load addressability should check just the referenced 2 bits.

movzx 2-to-4 should propagate instead of bailing to check_definedness.

neither should be difficult to implement and should help twolf, vpr, and
other benchmarks.
