Hi,
this patch is also similar to one I've made few months ago.
Maybe you can split even the part involvling shld insturction.
In the i386.md file I sent you you can find the insn pattern for it.
Advantage of this solution is better shecudling and the fact that
the shld insn pattern can match with constructions like
a = (a>>8) | (b<<24);
