This code:
define inreg i32 @foo(i8* inreg %p) nounwind {
%tmp0 = load i8* %p
%tmp1 = ashr i8 %tmp0, 5
%tmp2 = sext i8 %tmp1 to i32
ret i32 %tmp2
}

For example, on x86 this currently gets this:
movb (%eax), %al
sarb $5, %al
movsbl %al, %eax
while it could get this:
movsbl (%eax), %eax
sarl $5, %eax
