The instruction selection cannot find a way to convert this into machine 
instructions.  Most likely there is no pattern to match this part of the 
graph in your .td file.

You can see what's going on during selection with -mllvm 
-debug-only=isel.  The dumps are somewhat cumbersome to read, but not 
hard overall.
