The ABI allows sub-128 vectors to be passed and returned in registers,
with the vector occupying the upper part of a register. We therefore
want to legalize those types by widening the vector rather than promoting
the elements.
The patch includes some simple tests for sub-128 vectors and also tests
that we can recognize various pack sequences, some of which use sub-128
vectors as temporary results. One of these forms is based on the pack
sequences generated by llvmpipe when no intrinsics are used.
Signed unpacks are recognized as BUILD_VECTORs whose elements are
individually sign-extended. Unsigned unpacks can have the equivalent
form with zero extension, but they also occur as shuffles in which some
elements are zero.
Based on a patch by Richard Sandiford.
