SRP_SIGNED_AND_UNSIGNED on a subreg should mean that
the subreg is both zero and sign extended, which means
that the topmost bit of the narrower mode is known to be zero,
and all bits above it in the wider mode are known to be zero too.
SRP_SIGNED means that the topmost bit of the narrower mode is
either 0 or 1 and depending on that the above wider mode bits
are either all 0 or all 1.
SRP_UNSIGNED means that regardless of the topmost bit value,
all above wider mode bits are 0.
