-// wrapper node
+// Target constant nodes that are not part of any isel patterns and remain

+// Wrapper node patterns give the instruction selector a chance to replace

+// nodes. Without these wrapper node patterns, the following conditional move
+// instrucion is emitted when function cmov2 in test/CodeGen/Mips/cmov.ll is
