Hopefully not much time, if I can get my patches commit-worthy.

Yeah, it's a check before the usual conversions that just says "if the target has a MODE1 to MODE2 converter of the right type, just use it". Without this check, the only mode conversions are (for example) HI-SI and PSI-SI. The check allows for HI-PSI or QI-PTI or whatever the target has opcodes for.
