Err - the user may have a specific sub-architecture in mind when using
#pragma simd, if you say we should completely ignore the cost model
then should we also sorry () if we cannot vectorize the loop (either
because of GCC deficiencies or lack of sub-target support)?
That said, at least in the cases that the cost model says the loop
is never profitable to vectorize we should follow its advice.
