So I hate to have to bring up more issues, but I think this is broken
for CEIL and ROUND variants.
Let's consider 3/4 with CEIL_DIV_EXPR, the result of that should be 1.
But I think with this patch we get 0. Similarly for ROUND_DIV_EXPR and
the MOD variants I believe.

Do you want to also copy any location information from the old phi to
new phi? See gimple_phi_arg_location and friends for the API to get and
set the locations. You might also want to look at add_phi_arg, it may
(or may not) be a better API to work with.

Is integer_type_node the right type here? Shouldn't we be getting the
type from somewhere in the IL rather than assuming integer_type_node is
correct?
