Agree, "get_range_query" would be more useful for most cases.


Through a quick look at match.pd, there are another two patterns that use
"get_global_range_query".

Some concerns about those patterns, so those patterns may not need to be
updated.

* (T)(A)+cst -->(T)(A+cst): I'm wondering if this transformation is really in
favor of PPC.
e.g. "return (long) x1 + 40;" could save one "extend-insn" less than "return
(long)(x1 + 40);"

* For pattern "((x * cst) + cst1) * cst2": it seems this pattern does not
affect any cases. I mean this optimization is done by other parts (before
match.pd).
