Missed that, sorry.

Patch seems ok then.  We'd have to add a new macro/target flag
to handle non-truncating shifts -- we've got cases:

  (1) Large shift shifts out all bits (ARM)
  (2) Large shifts trap (VAX)
  (3) Shift count truncated to 31, always, which means QI/HI
      shifts are yield undefined results with large shifts.  (i386)
