This ChangeLog looks odd to me. It should include details of the
new alternative added to aarch64_lshr_sis_or_int_<mode>3, and also
be formatted as so:

* gcc/config/aarch64/aarch64.md (aarch64_lshr_sisd_or_int_<mode>3):
	Place integer variant first.
	(aarch64_ashr_sisd_or_int_<mode>3): Likewise.

Otherwise, this patch looks OK to me, so I've applied it on your behalf
as revision 226253.

Thanks,
James
