Summary:
If we don't have the first and last access of an interleaved load group,
the first and last wide load in the loop can do an out of bounds
access. Even though we discard results from speculative loads,
this can cause problems, since it can technically generate page faults
(or worse).
We now discard interleaved load groups that don't have the first and
load in the group.

Interleaved memory accesses are grouped and vectorized into vector load/store and shufflevector.
E.g. for (i = 0; i < N; i+=2) {
a = A[i]; // load of even element
b = A[i+1]; // load of odd element
... // operations on a, b, c, d
A[i] = c; // store of even element
A[i+1] = d; // store of odd element
}
The loads of even and odd elements are identified as an interleave load group, which will be transfered into vectorized IRs like:
%wide.vec = load <8 x i32>, <8 x i32>* %ptr
%vec.even = shufflevector <8 x i32> %wide.vec, <8 x i32> undef, <4 x i32> <i32 0, i32 2, i32 4, i32 6>
%vec.odd = shufflevector <8 x i32> %wide.vec, <8 x i32> undef, <4 x i32> <i32 1, i32 3, i32 5, i32 7>
The stores of even and odd elements are identified as an interleave store group, which will be transfered into vectorized IRs like:
%interleaved.vec = shufflevector <4 x i32> %vec.even, %vec.odd, <8 x i32> <i32 0, i32 4, i32 1, i32 5, i32 2, i32 6, i32 3, i32 7>
store <8 x i32> %interleaved.vec, <8 x i32>* %ptr
This optimization is currently disabled by defaut. To try it by adding '-enable-interleaved-mem-accesses=true'.
