[LLVMdev] LLD: representation of a power of two value

[Rui Ueyama]

I requested you pre-commit code review several times recently because you
submitted them without any discussion or code review. This is not the case.
Also please note that the patches looked actually dubious. As the history
of this project shows, I'm probably the person who cares most about the
LLD's code healthiness, and probably the person who contributed to that
area most. I'm sorry to say that, but your coding practice sometimes seem
very odd to me (e.g. being against even removing completely-dead code, or
doing something too fancy with several levels of indirections), so I need
to review your code carefully.

As to the patches, I usually don't split a refactoring patch. This is an
exception -- this would actually help others understand code. If each step
of the patches look trivial, it served its purpose -- everything looks
obvious and mechanical translation from the old code to the new one. Had I
done that in one large patch, no one wouldn't have been able to verify that
I didn't miss something.
