I'd rather not have that -- we can just write separate define_insn and
define_split in that case.

How many such cases *are* there?  There are no users exposed to this,
and when the split condition is required to start with "&&" (instead of
getting that implied) it is not a silent change ever, either.

If we make that change permanently, that is all steps we ever need!

Very old backends use the same insn condition and split condition
sometimes still; it isn't hard to detect that as well, if that seems
prudent.
