I am surprised this option is viable for example. This was my initial thought 
to avoid the rotate, but I assumed adding something like :

  if (!getTarget().getTriple().isWasm()) {
    APInt DemandedMaskLHS(DemandedMask.lshr(ShiftAmt));
    APInt DemandedMaskRHS(DemandedMask.shl(BitWidth - ShiftAmt));
    if (SimplifyDemandedBits(I, 0, DemandedMaskLHS, LHSKnown, Depth + 1) ||
        SimplifyDemandedBits(I, 1, DemandedMaskRHS, RHSKnown, Depth + 1))
      return I;
  }

would not be well received. Also, I cannot find precedent for doing this.
