The split2 dump file will tell you what splitter was used (where it
was defined, what md file and line no, and what function in insn-emit.c
it ended up in).
A splitter is used if its pattern matches and its split condition is
true. It isn't checked if the result is cheaper some way; it isn't
even checked if the resulting insns are valid at all.
