When rewriting the IR such that base pointers are available for every live pointer, we potentially need to duplicate instructions to propagate the base. The original code had only handled PHI and Select under the belief those were the only instructions which would need duplicated. When I added support for vector instructions, I'd added a collection of hacks for ExtractElement which caught most of the common cases. Of course, I then found the one test case my hacks couldn't cover. :)
This change removes all of the early hacks for extract element. By defining extractelement as a BDV (rather than trying to look through it), we can extend the rewriting algorithm to duplicate the extract as needed. Note that a couple of peephole optimizations were left in for the moment, because while we now handle extractelement as a first class citizen, we're not yet handling insertelement. That change will follow in the near future.
