[LLVMdev] Possible bug in ExpandShiftWithUnknownAmountBit

it is irrelevant whether it is a power of two or not.  Anyway, since you
are the only user, and this is not helpful for you, I guess we can forget
it :)

Actually it's the shifting by 32 (if NVBits is 32) which is a problem.
If Amt is zero then a shift by 32 is generated at commented line.

Ciao,
