While that's one possible solution, it would be better to rewrite the helpers
not to use branches.  E.g.

    tcg_gen_andi_i32(t0, arg2, 0x1f);
    tcg_gen_andi_i32(t1, arg2, 0x20);
    tcg_gen_shr_i32(ret, arg1, t0);
    tcg_gen_movi_i32(t0, 0);
    tcg_gen_movcond_i32(TCG_COND_NE, ret, t1, t0, t0, ret);
