[vector] [Byte|Short]Vector: No intrinsics for shift*

[Rukmannagari, Shravya]

Hi Vladimir,
I'm currently working on the shifts for byte and short and will be sending it out for review shortly. As for the rotate and elemental shifts, we have a plan to intrinsify them as well, maybe by the end of this month.

Thanks,
Shravya.

Hi,

I stumbled upon a missing intrinsics for shiftL/shiftR/aShiftR on byte/short vectors [1].

Just curious what's the plan?

PS: while browsing other concrete classes, found that IntVector.[rotate|shift][EL|ER] [2] aren't intrinsified as well. Same question.

Best regards,
Vladimir Ivanov
