>> Hi, I've created optimizations for the expansion of `Conv2B` nodes, especially when followed immediately by an xor of 1. This pattern is fairly common, and can arise from both [cmov idealization](https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/master/src/hotspot/share/opto/movenode.cpp#L241) and [diamond-phi optimization](https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/master/src/hotspot/share/opto/cfgnode.cpp#L1571). This change replaces `Conv2B` nodes in the middle-end during post loop opts IGVN with conditional moves on supported platforms (x86_64, aarch64, arm32), allowing the bit flip with `xor` to be subsumed with an inversion of the comparison instead. This change also reduces the overhead of the matcher in the backends, as fewer rules need to be traversed in order to match an ideal node. Performance results from my (Zen 2) machine:
