Same result on arm64 with gcc 10.2.0.

On arm32 it is different, probably because the 64-bit shifts aren't native in
that case.  I don't know about other architectures.  But there aren't many ways
to implement shifts, and using just the low bits of the shift amount is the most
logical way.

Please feel free to send out a patch with whatever comment you want.  The diff I
gave was just an example and I am not an expert in BPF.

No, I just didn't know that these constants are never out of range.  Please feel
free to send out a patch that does this properly.
