These instructions shift left or right depending on the sign
of the input, and 7 bits are significant to the shift. This
requires several masks and selects in addition to the actual
shifts to form the complete answer.
That said, the operation is still a small improvement even for
two 64-bit elements -- 13 vector operations instead of 2 * 7
integer operations.
