I think these lines that say "if negative then force all the
high bits to one" are also no longer required. That is, this
entire section of code:
     value &= ((1ULL << nr_bits) - 1);
     negative = !!(value & (1ULL << (nr_bits - 1)));
     if (negative) {
         value |= (0xFFFFFFFFULL << nr_bits);
     }

is an open-coded sign-extension, which can all be replaced with
the single line
     value = sextract64(value, 0, nr_bits);

'negative' is used for more tests afterwards but you are right. I will respin
with more changes.

After the sign-extension, negative needs no complicated expression.

  value = sextract64(value, 0, nr_bits);
  negative = (target_long)value < 0;
