- Remove the buggy -X/C -> X/-C transform. This isn't valid when X isn't a
constant. If X is a constant, then this is folded elsewhere. - Added a note to Target/README.txt to indicate that we'd like to implement this when we're able. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@60399 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

+We would like to do the following transform in the instcombiner:
+
+ -X/C -> X/-C
+
+However, this isn't valid if (-X) overflows. We can implement this when we
+have the concept of a "C signed subtraction" operator that which is undefined
+on overflow.
