Cool.

rs6000_is_valid_shift_mask handles this already (but it requires you to
pass in the shift needed).  rs6000_is_valid_mask will handle it.
rs6000_is_valid_and_mask does not get a shift count parameter, so cannot
use rldic currently.

Please improve something there instead?

Do not put declarations for uninitialised and initialised variables on
one line, please.

Don't use an unspec please.  Unspecs prohibit most optimisation.  For
example, nothing can now see what actual value is calculated here (you
can make that a bit better by using REG_EQ* notes, but it is not as good
as simply describing what the actual insns do).

Please use {} quotes, and \m\M.  \d can be helpful, too.
