well.. how about this small tweak?
This hook takes a @var{mode} for a doloop IV, where @code{mode} is the original
mode for the operation. If the target prefers an alternate @code{mode} for the
operation, then this hook should return that mode. For example, on a 64-bit
target, @code{DImode} might be preferred over @code{SImode}. The original
@code{mode} should be returned if that is suitable. Both the original and the
returned modes should be @code{MODE_INT}.
