[Mono-dev] Patch for IPAddress.cs

[Alan McGovern]

Ok, so this should be the final patch needed, i don't think i can possibly
get it any faster.

I removed an excess bitshift operation from each call and made things nicer.
This version is a few % faster than the previous patch. Not a huge
difference, but still a difference.

Let me know if it's good to commit.
