Ah, I didn't see that in the documentation.  I suggest adding "Shift 
amounts are interpreted as unsigned values" to each shift instruction.

Hmm, I copied LangRef.html from http://llvm.org/docs/LangRef.html.  The 
version I'm using was last modified 2008-03-24 15:52:42 -0500 (Mon, 24 
Mar 2008).  Perhaps there was a newer version on SVN?  In any case, I'll 
use the latest version from SVN for future patches.
