I'm still catching up on mail backlog from this thread, but I'm concerned that 
we're exposing setcond to the target translation code if we're planning on 
implementing movcond later.  My guess is that in a lot of cases we want a 
value other than 1, and I'd prefer to avoid proliferation of set+shift/mask 
sequences if we're going to get movcond anyway.

I don't suppose you've tried something along the lines of
  #define tcg_gen_movcond_i32(cond...) gen_helper_mov##cond(...)
And see how that compares in practice?
