Ah! I guess here's a case where the compiler isn't smart enough. Theoretically, 
because the code is inlined, it should be able to work out the inverse and then 
generate the immediate operand for andi. It's able to do that when the 
parameter value is passed directly (as evidenced by the set() method, which 
does exactly what I want.

Oh well. I'll live with the extra cycle.

Thanks!
