The RS/6000 assembler assembles this source line
sri 30,29,0
into this machine instruction
sli 31,29,0
This modifies register 31 instead of register 30.
I couldn't find documentation for "sri" in info, so it may be a bug
that as doesn't signal an error for the "sri" opcode. With a positive
shift count the assembler generates correct code.
