This broke the Chromium build, causing it to fail with e.g.
fatal error: error in backend: Cannot select: t362: v4i32 = X86ISD::VSHLI t392, Constant:i8<15>
See llvm-commits thread of r372285 for details.
This also reverts r372286, r372287, r372288, r372289, r372290, r372291,
r372292, r372293, r372296, and r372297, which seemed to depend on the
main commit.
