It would probably be better to use a single mask, since they're not free to
instantiate in a register. So e.g.
TCGv mask = tcg_const_i64(sf ? 0x00ff00ff00ff00ffull : 0x00ff00ff);
tcg_gen_shri_i64(tcg_tmp, tcg_rn, 8);
tcg_gen_and_i64(tcg_rd, tcg_rn, mask);
tcg_gen_and_i64(tcg_tmp, tcg_tmp, mask);
tcg_gen_shli_i64(tcg_rd, tcg_rd, 8);
Indeed that improves things a bit for sf=1. For sf=0 though the
constant is never loaded into a register, it is passed to the and
instructions as an immediate.
For x86 (and sometimes s390) it isn't, but it certainly would be for all other
hosts.
