My sincere apologies to everyone, but especially Andrew Pinski who warned me in advance that TRULY_NOOP_TRUNCATION results in different code paths/optimizations on some targets. This restores the build on nvptx-none (and presumably others) where mysteriously (truncate:QI (reg:QI)) fails to be simplified to (reg:QI), which is expected (everywhere) in my recently added self-tests. [I'd even tested the functional change of the previous patch on nvptx-none, but it's the new self-tests that I added for submission that have been shown to be less portable across targets than hoped].
This patch has been committed as obvious, after testing that it restores the build on nvptx-none and with a "make bootstrap" on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu to guarantee no surprises [make -k check is underway].
