            Bug ID: 40203
           Summary: [X86][SSE] Remove shift-by-immediate llvm x86
                    intrinsics
           Product: libraries
           Version: trunk
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Windows NT
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P
         Component: Backend: X86

The SSE SLLI/SRLI/SRAI vector uniform shift by immediate intrinsics still exist
due to a gcc compatibility issue requiring us to support non-immediate values
in the '_mm_slli_epi32' style C/C++ intrinsics.

What would be better is if CGBuiltin could promote the non-immediate cases to
use the uniform variable equivalent intrinsics (__builtin_ia32_pslldi128 ->
__builtin_ia32_pslld128 etc.) and the 'normal' cases replaced with generic
shifts (or zero for out of range logical shifts).

This would allow us to remove all the existing slli intrinsics and their
handling.
