Coverity finding CID 147829 Bad bit shift operation (BAD_SHIFT)

I'm fairly certian this is a false positive. Checking GF2NT::MultiplicativeInverse under code coverage shows its exercised 555,735 times. We will clear it anayway to squash the finding
For those not aware, on Linux and Unix, you can issue 'make coverage' and get code coverage statistics
