The basic idea is on ARM most of the ALU based instructions can take a (limited) integer, a register *or* a register shifted by some amount!  For the most part, we only use the first two modes, but by analyzing the MIR, we can generate add r0, r1, r2 lsl #4 rather than using two instructions, and giving the register allocator more work.  This patche is quite thoroughly hacked together, and probably needs some architectural fixes.
