Hi,

For some large constant, ports like ARM, need one more instructions to
operate it. e.g

#define MASK 0xfe00ff
void maskdata (int * data, int len)
{
   int i = len;
   for (; i > 0; i -= 2)
    {
      data[i] &= MASK;
      data[i + 1] &= MASK;
    }
}

Need two instructions for each AND operation:

    and    r3, r3, #16711935
    bic    r3, r3, #65536

If we keep the MASK in a register, loop2_invariant pass can hoist it
out the loop. And it can be shared by different references.

So the patch skips constant propagation if it makes INSN's cost higher.

Bootstrap and no make check regression on X86-64 and ARM Chrome book.

OK for trunk?

Thanks!
