If we have an add (or an or that is really an add), where one operand is a
FrameIndex and the other operand is a small constant, we can combine the
lowering of the FrameIndex (which is lowered as an add of the FI and a zero
offset) with the constant operand.
Amusingly, this is an old potential improvement entry from
lib/Target/PowerPC/README.txt which had never been resolved. In short, we used
to lower:
%X = alloca { i32, i32 }
%Y = getelementptr {i32,i32}* %X, i32 0, i32 1
ret i32* %Y
as:
addi 3, 1, -8
ori 3, 3, 4
blr
and now we produce:
addi 3, 1, -4
blr
which is much more sensible.

The PPC64 SVR4 ABI requires integer stack arguments, and thus the var. args., that
are smaller than 64 bits be zero extended to 64 bits.
