This is way more confusing than it needs to be.  I don't think you
should modify VALUE by shifting at all.  If you don't do that then
you don't need to make SHIFT loop carried, since we compute its
exact correct value every time with the ctz.

Was the only bug in the code that I pasted the lack of the shift-by-17
when encoding SHIFT into the tcg_out32?

Any reason you're splitting out tcg_out_movi_aux to a separate function?

Reserve the frame pointer.
