Certain vector operations don't vectorize well with the current
PowerPC implementation. Element insert/extract performs poorly
without VSX support because Altivec requires going through memory.
SREM, UREM, and VSELECT all produce bad scalar code.
There's a lot of work to do for the cost model before
autovectorization will be tuned well, and this is not an attempt to
address the larger problem.
