This doesn't occur much at all, it only seems to formed in the case
when the trunc optimization kicks in due to phase ordering. In that
case it is saves a few bytes on x86-32.

a load/or/and/store sequence into a narrower store when it is
safe. Daniel tells me that clang will start producing this sort
of thing with bitfields, and this does trigger a few dozen times
on 176.gcc produced by llvm-gcc even now.
This compiles code like CodeGen/X86/2009-05-28-DAGCombineCrash.ll
into:
movl %eax, 36(%rdi)
instead of:
movl $4294967295, %eax ## imm = 0xFFFFFFFF
andq 32(%rdi), %rax
shlq $32, %rcx
addq %rax, %rcx
movq %rcx, 32(%rdi)
and each of the testcases into a single store. Each of them used
to compile into craziness like this:
_test4:
movl $65535, %eax ## imm = 0xFFFF
andl (%rdi), %eax
shll $16, %esi
addl %eax, %esi
movl %esi, (%rdi)
ret
