ARC: Improved SImode shifts and rotates with -mswap.
This patch improves the code generated by the ARC back-end for CPUs
without a barrel shifter but with -mswap. The -mswap option provides
a SWAP instruction that implements SImode rotations by 16, but also
logical shift instructions (left and right) by 16 bits. Clearly these
are also useful building blocks for implementing shifts by 17, 18, etc.
which would otherwise require a loop.
As a representative example:
int shl20 (int x) { return x << 20; }
GCC with -O2 -mcpu=em -mswap would previously generate:
shl20: mov lp_count,10
lp 2f
add r0,r0,r0
add r0,r0,r0
2: # end single insn loop
j_s [blink]
Although both are four instructions (excluding the j_s),
the original takes ~22 cycles, and replacement ~4 cycles.
