Oh no!! It's even worse! The kernel implementation of ashldi3, ashrdi3 and
lshrdi3 seems broken, see this code in arch/ppc/kernel/misc.S:

The brokenness of those implementations has been noted by Gabriel a long
time ago, and I believe he even sent a fix to this list once.  For some
unknown reasons, it has largely been ignored.  I think I can dig out his
patch if I try hard though.

Ok, found it:

nks - i'll try (think and hope :-) that this fixes the problems with
xfs ... will mail the result here later
