I believe
a) `add 0,%rax` is a redundant no-op
b) jge/jmpq should be replaced by jlt

FTR,
$ clang++ --version
clang version 3.1 (trunk 154589)

Ooops, this is -O0.

I'd rather not emit `add 0,%rax` for 1-byte accesses anyways though.

Do we need to keep it (given that this is an LLVM issue, if at all)?
