Hmm, I don't think so as slwi only acts on the lower 32bits so the upper 32bits
have the same sign as before which might be invalid if the b+a overflows.

Actually optimial is:
_f1:
        slwi r0,r3,1
        add r0,r0,r3
        extsw r3,r0
        blr

No extra move.  
The extsw is to extend the return value to 64bits as required by the ABI.
In fact I can think of different cases where this would cause issues.
