This patch is a one line change, to call ix86_expand_clear instead of
emit_move_insn with const0_rtx in ix86_split_ashl, allowing the backend
to use an xor instruction to clear a register if appropriate.
The effect is demonstrated with the following function.
__int128 foo(__int128 x, unsigned long long b) {
return ((__int128)b << 72) + x;
}
