I was too pessimistic in r177105. Vector selects that fit into a legal register
type lower just fine. I was mislead by the code fragment that I was using. The
stores/loads that I saw in those cases came from lowering the conditional off
an address.
Changing the code fragment to:
%T0_3 = type <8 x i18>
%T1_3 = type <8 x i1>
define void @func_blend3(%T0_3* %loadaddr, %T0_3* %loadaddr2,
%T1_3* %blend, %T0_3* %storeaddr) {
%v0 = load %T0_3* %loadaddr
%v1 = load %T0_3* %loadaddr2
==> FROM:
;%c = load %T1_3* %blend
==> TO:
%c = icmp slt %T0_3 %v0, %v1
==> USE:
%r = select %T1_3 %c, %T0_3 %v0, %T0_3 %v1
store %T0_3 %r, %T0_3* %storeaddr
ret void
}
revealed this mistake.

By terrible I mean we store/load from the stack.
This matters on PAQp8 in _Z5trainPsS_ii (which is inlined into Mixer::update)
where we decide to vectorize a loop with a VF of 8 resulting in a 25%
degradation on a cortex-a8.
LV: Found an estimated cost of 2 for VF 8 For instruction: icmp slt i32
LV: Found an estimated cost of 2 for VF 8 For instruction: select i1, i32, i32
The bug that tracks the CodeGen part is PR14868.

The backend already pattern matches to form VBSL when it can. We may want to
teach it to use the vbsl intrinsics at some point to prevent machine licm from
mucking with this, but using the Expand is completely correct.
