[llvm-commits] [PATCH 3/6] Optimize zext on PPC64

[Tobias von Koch]

Dear all,

This is part of a series of patches for the PowerPC backend to improve
support for Freescale processors.

Please review and commit if this is OK - I don't have commit access.

Thanks!
Tobias

Description of patch:

zeroextend IR instruction is lowered to an 'and' node with an immediate
mask operand, which in turn gets legalised to a sequence of ori's & ands.
This can be done more efficiently using the rldicl  instruction.
