The architecture doesn't really have any native v4f32 operations except
v4f32->v2f64 and v2f64->v4f32 conversions, with only half of the v4f32
elements being used. Even so, using vector registers for <4 x float>
and scalarising individual operations is much better than generating
completely scalar code, since there's much less register pressure.
It's also more efficient to do v4f32 comparisons by extending to 2
v2f64s, comparing those, then packing the result.
This particularly helps with llvmpipe.
Based on a patch by Richard Sandiford.

Essentially the same as the GEP change in r230786.
A similar migration script can be used to update test cases, though a few more
test case improvements/changes were required this time around: (r229269-r229278)
import fileinput
import sys
import re
pat = re.compile(r"((?:=|:|^)\s*load (?:atomic )?(?:volatile )?(.*?))(| addrspace\(\d+\) *)\*($| *(?:%|@|null|undef|blockaddress|getelementptr|addrspacecast|bitcast|inttoptr|\[\[[a-zA-Z]|\{\{).*$)")
for line in sys.stdin:
sys.stdout.write(re.sub(pat, r"\1, \2\3*\4", line))
