Abe,
please avoid comments that are not needed.

Please remove the braces: the loop body is a single stmt.

+ duplicate_insn_chain (insn, insn);
+ /* A return of 0 from "duplicate_insn_chain" is _not_

+ last insn it duplicated. */
Please remove this comment.

+ /* Done copying the needed insns between the start of the
+ THEN block and the set of 'a', if any. */
This comment duplicates the same content as the comment before the loop.
Please remove.
