Is there any (target specific) testcase you can add?  Such commits are
problematic
when later bisected to since the intent isn't clear.

I made a issue in bugzilla, please check it, thanks.

So what Richi is asking is can you construct a testcase for the 
testsuite?  Having a BZ is helpful because we can reference it in the 
commit message, but a test, even if it's target specific, is even better 
from a long term maintenance standpoint.

I found this issue from the ISA extension vector of risc-v target, and
It has not been upstream by now, normal test case without vector isa
Is difficult to construct for this patch, but I think it’s simple and useful for
other ISAs or targets, or recommit this patch after our risc-v Vector ISA
Is ready on master branch ?

Any suggestions ?

So I tried to trigger this on x86, but wasn't able with relatively light 
testing.

My recommendation would be to add a little comment like this before the 
change:

/* If this insn is a noop move, then do not rename in this chain as doing so
     would inhibit removal of the noop move.  */

OK with that change.

Thanks for your patience.
