This patch would improved if you started with:
                int input_unsigned = (op == 8) ? !u : u;
and then used that here and:

here...

here...

and here.

(What all these things are trying to check is whether the
input elements for the operations are signed or unsigned;
this isn't the same as the u bit, which is whether the output
is unsigned.)
