Okay, good!!

So, although I'm wanting to generate horizontal reduction operations, I'm 
currently thinking about lowering these to pairwise instructions, such as 
SSE/AVX haddp and Neon faddp. The semantics of the TS op will be of a 
recursively pairwise operation so targets should be able to lower them to a 
variety of optimised sequences, which does mean we'd be able to use addv 
for ints on aarch64.

Thanks again,
Sam
