Christophe Leroy 55a0edf083 powerpc/64: optimises from64to32()
The current implementation of from64to32() gives a poor result:

0000000000000270 <.from64to32>:
 270:	38 00 ff ff 	li      r0,-1
 274:	78 69 00 22 	rldicl  r9,r3,32,32
 278:	78 00 00 20 	clrldi  r0,r0,32
 27c:	7c 60 00 38 	and     r0,r3,r0
 280:	7c 09 02 14 	add     r0,r9,r0
 284:	78 09 00 22 	rldicl  r9,r0,32,32
 288:	7c 00 4a 14 	add     r0,r0,r9
 28c:	78 03 00 20 	clrldi  r3,r0,32
 290:	4e 80 00 20 	blr

This patch modifies from64to32() to operate in the same
spirit as csum_fold()

It swaps the two 32-bit halves of sum then it adds it with the
unswapped sum. If there is a carry from adding the two 32-bit halves,
it will carry from the lower half into the upper half, giving us the
correct sum in the upper half.

The resulting code is:

0000000000000260 <.from64to32>:
 260:	78 60 00 02 	rotldi  r0,r3,32
 264:	7c 60 1a 14 	add     r3,r0,r3
 268:	78 63 00 22 	rldicl  r3,r3,32,32
 26c:	4e 80 00 20 	blr
