tcg/ppc64: Fix zero extension code generation bug for ppc64 host
The ppc64 code generation backend uses an rldicr (Rotate Left Double
Immediate and Clear Right) instruction to implement zero extension of
a 32 bit quantity to a 64 bit quantity (INDEX_op_ext32u_i64). However
this is wrong - this instruction clears specified low bits of the
value, instead of high bits as we require for a zero extension. It
should instead use an rldicl (Rotate Left Double Immediate and Clear
Left) instruction.
Presumably amongst other things, this causes the SLOF firmware image
used with -M pseries to not boot on a ppc64 host.
It appears this bug was exposed by commit
0bf1dbdcc935dfc220a93cd990e947e90706aec6 (tcg/ppc64: fix 16/32 mixup)
which enabled the use of the op_ext32u_i64 operation on the ppc64
backend.
