[LLVMdev] [PATCH] Apply Thumb2 ROR optimization only when Thumb2 is supported

I've been playing around with using LLVM on one of our projects, which runs on an arm1176jzf-s processor.  When compiling for Thumb, a couple of the generated assembly files end up with a 'ror.w' instruction, which is a Thumb2 instruction.  Since arm1176jzf-s doesn't support Thumb2, the assembler then turns around and barfs on it.

I don't have any experience with this codebase, but after looking around for a while, I think I found the culprit--there was a change back in #130502 which added a peephole optimization to generate that instruction, but the pattern was not made conditional on being in Thumb2 mode.  If that's correct, then I believe the attached patch will fix it (at the very least, it made my specific error go away).  Is this the right fix?

Thanks,
Matt
