The address style operand is only the shift count. Our instructions support base + displacement
here. E.g. sll     %r2,%r3(3)    is r2 << (r3 + 3)

I don't see how this would help here. It is not really that reload needs help moving something
to/from a register. In fact the INSN is good as is and we are trying to prevent reload from doing
anything.
