+
+PR target/89213 - Optimize vector shift by a constant.
+
+Optimize vector shifts by a constant, taking advantage that the shift
+instructions only look at the bits within the element.
+
+The PowerPC doesn't have a VSPLTID instruction.  This meant that if we are doing
+a V2DI shift of 0..15, we had to do VSPLTIW and VEXTSW2D instructions to load
+the constant into the vector register.
+
+Similarly for V4SI and V2DI, if we wanted to shift more than 15 bits, we would
+generate XXSPLTIB and VEXTSB2D or VEXTSB2W instructions to load the constant
+into the vector register.
+
+Given the vector shift instructions only look at the bottom 5 or 6 bits of the
+shift value, we can load the constant via VSPLTISW or XXSPLTIB instructions and
+eliminate the sign extend instructions (VEXTSW2D, VEXTSB2D, and VEXTSB2W).
