commit 80f420842f removed the ARC bitops microoptimization but failed
to prune the comments to same effect

* ARC ISA micro-optimization: \
* \
* Instructions dealing with bitpos only consider lower 5 bits \
* e.g (x << 33) is handled like (x << 1) by ASL instruction \
* (mem pointer still needs adjustment to point to next word) \
* \
* Hence the masking to clamp @nr arg can be elided in general. \
* \
* However if @nr is a constant (above assumed in a register), \
* and greater than 31, gcc can optimize away (x << 33) to 0, \
* as overflow, given the 32-bit ISA. Thus masking needs to be \
* done for const @nr, but no code is generated due to gcc \
* const prop. \
