In CVS head instcombine, this zextOrCopy method is only used in one  
place.  Instead of doing this idiom, please add a new  
APInt::getLowBitsSet(i, j), where i is the size of the value and j is  
the number of low bits set in it.

Instcombine currently also does (apint(i, 1)<<j) - 1  to compute  
this.  These uses should call APInt::getLowBitsSet as well.
