           Summary: Optimize division of positive signed integer by power
                    of 2 to a simple shift

It would be nice if LLVM could optimize the division of a signed integer by a
power of two to a simple shift if the integer can not be negative.

For example, GCC optimizes the division in the following sample to a simple
right shift (without fixup), while LLVM does not:

int divBy4(int x) {
  if (x < 0) abort();
  return x/4;
}
