Summary:
DAGCombine will normally turn a `(shl (add x, c1), c2)` into `(add (shl x, c2), c1 << c2)`, where `c1` and `c2` are constants. This can be prevented by a callback in TargetLowering.
On RISC-V, materialising the constant `c1 << c2` can be more expensive than materialising `c1`, because materialising the former may take more instructions, and may use a register, where materialising the latter would not.
This patch implements the hook in RISCVTargetLowering to prevent this transform, in the cases where:
- `c1` fits into the immediate field in an `addi` instruction.
- `c1` takes fewer instructions to materialise than `c1 << c2`.
In future, DAGCombine could do the check to see whether `c1` fits into an add immediate, which might simplify more targets hooks than just RISC-V.
