Hi Juzhe,
in general looks OK.

We could make this a separate variable like:
bool indices_fit_selector = maybe_ge (vec_len, 2 << GET_MODE_BITSIZE
(GET_MODE_INNER (vmode)));
Also add a comment that the non-constant case is handled by
shuffle_decompress_patterns in case we have a HImode vector twice the
size that can hold our indices.

Comment should go inside the if branch.

I find that comment a bit misleading as it's not the vmsltu itself but
rather that the indices cannot be held.

We also cannot hold that in a vector QImode register, and, since there
is no larger HI mode vector we cannot create a larger selector.
Also add this as comment:
As the mask is a simple {0, 1, ...} pattern and the length is known we can
store it in a scalar register and broadcast it to a mask register.

I would have hoped that a simple
v.quick_push (gen_int_mode (0b01010101, QImode));
suffices but that will probably clash if there are more than
two npatterns.
