an immediate constant as the shift amount. This is needed for
powerpc Iop_ShlD64 etc. What it basically means that we do not
iterate over the bits in the 2nd operand because there are no
V-bits to set. An immediate constant is always completely defined.

they cause assertion failures.
Do not test Iop_CmpORDxyz on ppc because the vbit tester does not
support them. This is just so we don't have to add another .exp file for ppc.

The tester is located in memcheck/tests/vbit-test.
It needs the following support on the valgrind / VEX side:
(1) a new client request VG_USERREQ__VEX_INIT_FOR_IRI
(2) a new "special instruction" on all architectures inserted via
VALGRIND_VEX_INJECT_IR
(3) VEX changes to detect the special insn and insert IR (ir_inject.c)
The README file in vbit-test has some more information.
See also VEX r2490. Fixes bugzilla #300102.
