Uhhhh, no.
The reason the generic stuff went in the first place was to provide a
wider test base for the vector code throughout the compiler. Testing
simd* stuff on *all* architectures has pointed us to a myraid of bugs
that have been fixed over the past year or two.

I believe it was ok, after Joerne fixed a lot of corner cases I missed
;-).
If the generic code is broken, it should be fixed.
