It sounds like you want a define_split, not a define_insn_and_split.
That is much more stomachable anyway.

Anything that creates conditional branches together with compars insns
belongs before RA, before sched1 even.

Yes, that is one way to do it.  Another way is to reuse operand 1.  A
clobber is probably better in this case though :-)

If this is only so combine can match things, you certainly want just a
define_split, and the compare+branch in one pattern is not as bad then.
