Shiva,
I just queued patch 1 adding this line in the commit msg:
Resolves: https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues/1536
This was mentioned by Cedric in patch 2. Also, speaking of patch 2, take a look
on Cedric's review and see if it's applicable or not.
I plan to send a ppc pull request
While debugging gitlab issue[1] 1536, I happen to try the

On debugging it is seen, in function do_extractm() the
mask is calculated as dup_const(1 << (element_width - 1)).
'1' being signed int works fin
