PPC: Optimize rldicl generation for masked shifts
Masking operations (where only some number of the low bits are being kept) are selected to rldicl(x, 0, mb). If x is a logical right shift (which would become rldicl(y, 64-n, n)), we might be able to fold the two instructions together: rldicl(rldicl(x, 64-n, n), 0, mb) -> rldicl(x, 64-n, mb) for n <= mb The right shift is really a left rotate followed by a mask, and if the explicit mask is a more-restrictive sub-mask of the mask implied by the shift, only one rldicl is needed. llvm-svn: 195185
