SH1, SH2 doesn't have a barrel shifter and needs stitched constant shifts. In some cases we resort to a rt lib call to avoid code bloat. There are a couple of opportunities when sharing intermediate results of incremental / stitched shifts. A while ago I had the idea of writing an RTL pass that would try to figure that out... In this case the shifts are expanded to RTL with the constant shift amounts already propagated and the incremental shifts removed, so it's a bit harder to undo this at the RTL level, but not impossible. On SH3, SH4 dynamic shifts are available, but it requires another register + constant load. Incremental / stitched shifts would be always better on SH for this test case.
