The benchmarking summarized in
http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2017-May/113525.html showed
this is beneficial for a wide range of cores.
As is to be expected, quite a few small adaptations are needed to the
regressions tests, as the difference in scheduling results in:
- Quite a few small instruction schedule differences.
- A few changes in register allocation decisions caused by different
instruction schedules.
- A few changes in IfConversion decisions, due to a difference in
instruction schedule and/or the estimated cost of a branch mispredict.

One half of the shifts obviously needed conditional selection based on whether
the shift amount is more than 32-bits, but leaving the other half as the
natural shift isn't acceptable either: it's undefined behaviour to shift a
32-bit value by more than 31.
