ARM V6T2 has instructions for efficient count-leading/trailing-zeros, so this should be
considered a cheap operation (and therefore fair game for speculation) for any ARM V6T2
implementation.
The net result of allowing this speculation for the regression tests in this patch is
that we get this code:
ctlz:
clz r0, r0
bx lr
cttz:
rbit r0, r0
clz r0, r0
bx lr
Instead of:
ctlz:
cmp r0, #0
moveq r0, #32
clzne r0, r0
bx lr
cttz:
cmp r0, #0
moveq r0, #32
rbitne r0, r0
clzne r0, r0
bx lr
This will help solve a general speculation/despeculation problem noted in PR24818:
