[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 2/2] target-mips: simplify LWL/LDL mask generation

[Aurelien Jarno]

The LWL/LDL instructions mask the GPR with a mask depending on the
address alignement. It is currently computed by doing:

    mask = 0x7fffffffffffffffull >> (t1 ^ 63)

It's simpler to generate it by doing:

    mask = (1 << t1) - 1

It uses the same number of TCG instructions, but it avoids a 32/64-bit
constant loading which can take a few instructions on RISC hosts.
