The 64-bit semantics of cntlzw are not special, the 32-bit population count is
stored as a 64-bit value in the range [0,32]. As a result, it is always zero
extended, and it can be added to the PPCISelDAGToDAG peephole optimization as a
frontier instruction for the removal of unnecessary zero extensions.

lhbrx and lwbrx not only load their data with byte swapping, but also clear the
upper 32 bits (at least). As a result, they can be added to the PPCISelDAGToDAG
peephole optimization as frontier instructions for the removal of unnecessary
zero extensions.

PPCTargetLowering::DAGCombineExtBoolTrunc contains logic to remove unwanted
truncations and extensions when dealing with nodes of the form:
zext(binary-ops(binary-ops(trunc(x), trunc(y)), ...)
There was a FIXME in the implementation (now removed) regarding the fact that
the function would abort the transformations if any of the non-output operands
of a SELECT or SELECT_CC node would need to be promoted (because they were
also output operands, for example). As a result, we continued to generate
unnecessary zero-extends for code such as this:
unsigned foo(unsigned a, unsigned b) {
return (a <= b) ? a : b;
}
which would produce:
cmplw 0, 3, 4
isel 3, 4, 3, 1
rldicl 3, 3, 0, 32
blr
and now we produce:
cmplw 0, 3, 4
isel 3, 4, 3, 1
blr
which is better in the obvious way.

On PPC64, we end up with lots of i32 -> i64 zero extensions, not only from all
of the usual places, but also from the ABI, which specifies that values passed
are zero extended. Almost all 32-bit PPC instructions in PPC64 mode are defined
to do *something* to the higher-order bits, and for some instructions, that
action clears those bits (thus providing a zero-extended result). This is
especially common after rotate-and-mask instructions. Adding an additional
instruction to zero-extend the results of these instructions is unnecessary.
This PPCISelDAGToDAG peephole optimization examines these zero-extensions, and
looks back through their operands to see if all instructions will implicitly
zero extend their results. If so, we convert these instructions to their 64-bit
variants (which is an internal change only, the actual encoding of these
instructions is the same as the original 32-bit ones) and remove the
unnecessary zero-extension (changing where the INSERT_SUBREG instructions are
to make everything internally consistent).
