RFA: MN10300: Fix splitting AND insns


Hi Jeff, Hi Alex,

  I have finally tracked down a bug in the MN10300 backend which has
  been causing all kinds of weird behaviour in generated code.  The
  problem was that the pattern to split an AND insn into two shift insns
  was using a left shift followed by a right shift to clear bits at the
  *bottom* of a word...

  It turns out that this was because of the mn10300_split_and_operand_count 
  function which was returning a negative value for both clears at the
  top of the word and at the bottom.  Once I had found this the fix was
  easy, and with the patch below applied I now have 28 fewer GCC
  testsuite failures, 7 fewer G++ testsuite failures and no
  regressions.

  OK to apply ?

Cheers
  Nick
