SSE2 has the PSLLW, PSRLW and PSRAW instruction family. Thus the shift
operators <<, >> and >>> can be implemented for vectors in terms of these
instructions.

This is an useful extension because cryptographic algorithm require a shift
operation very often (e.g. see the vectorized version of SHA1).
