So I've solved the puzzle of why we get 3 c/l for lshiftc on US3.

If the loop executes one time, it runs in 5 cycles.

But if it executes more than one time, each iteration after the
first executes in 6 cycles.

The reason is that the final cycle:

	srlx	u0, tcnt, %l4
	bge,pt	%xcc, L(top)
	 stx	r1, [n + r1_off]	C WAS: rp - 16

schedules in the first instruction of the loop into that final
instruction group:

L(top):
	not	%l3, %l3

breaking our carefully scheduled code.

I'm going to play around with some things to try and fix this.

Interestingly, UltraSPARC-1 and UltraSPARC-2 would not group the
final cycle of the loop this way, because of it's requirement that
integer operations must occur in the first three instructions of
a group.
