> A better patch:

The real issue is that the following permutation (truncation):

+      for (i = 0; i < d.nelt; ++i)
+       d.perm[i] = i * 2;
+
+      ok = ix86_expand_vec_perm_const_1 (&d);

results in a slow code involving VPERMQ. Ideally, ix86_expand_vec_perm_const_1
should emit faster code for truncation, because this will benefit other code as
well.
