it's ugly, obfuscated code, adding useless temporary variables and tests
that used not to be needed to achieve the same computation (where we
want the code to be fast and would like to remove all tests in flags
computations...).
Furthermore, it's inconsistent as more operations use similar code then
would need to be patched too if those one are false.
Then, I got numerous test results which gives the correct result with
the same arguments you use, running qemu on different hosts (x86, x86_64
and PPC32/64), then I must find time to redo all those tests to get
convinced it's now broken, find what did broke it, then rollback the
changes that broke this code.
