// This pass removes unnecessary zero copies in BBs that are targets of
// beqz/bnez instructions. For instance, the copy instruction in the code below
// can be removed because the beqz jumps to BB#2 when a0 is zero.
//  BB#1:
//    beqz %a0, <BB#2>
//  BB#2:
//    %a0 = COPY %x0
// This pass should be run after register allocation.
//
// This pass is based on the earliest versions of
// AArch64RedundantCopyElimination.
//
// FIXME: Support compares with constants other than zero? This is harder to
// do on RISC-V since branches can't have immediates.
