Codegen signed mod by 2 or -2 more efficiently. Instead of generating:

t:
        mov %EDX, DWORD PTR [%ESP + 4]
        mov %ECX, 2
        mov %EAX, %EDX
        sar %EDX, 31
        idiv %ECX
        mov %EAX, %EDX
        ret

Generate:
t:
        mov %ECX, DWORD PTR [%ESP + 4]
***     mov %EAX, %ECX
        cdq
        and %ECX, 1
        xor %ECX, %EDX
        sub %ECX, %EDX
***     mov %EAX, %ECX
        ret

Note that the two marked moves are redundant, and should be eliminated by the
register allocator, but aren't.

Compare this to GCC, which generates:

t:
        mov     %eax, DWORD PTR [%esp+4]
        mov     %edx, %eax
        shr     %edx, 31
        lea     %ecx, [%edx+%eax]
        and     %ecx, -2
        sub     %eax, %ecx
        ret

or ICC 8.0, which generates:

t:
        movl      4(%esp), %ecx                                 #3.5
        movl      $-2147483647, %eax                            #3.25
        imull     %ecx                                          #3.25
        movl      %ecx, %eax                                    #3.25
        sarl      $31, %eax                                     #3.25
        addl      %ecx, %edx                                    #3.25
        subl      %edx, %eax                                    #3.25
        addl      %eax, %eax                                    #3.25
        negl      %eax                                          #3.25
        subl      %eax, %ecx                                    #3.25
        movl      %ecx, %eax                                    #3.25
        ret                                                     #3.25

We would be in great shape if not for the moves.
