}

OTOH the code generated is much much worse if you disable vectorization.

Then we should make sure the stack slot we spill the arguments to is
properly aligned so we can avoid the UNSPEC_LOADU.  This eventually
can lead to cleanup opportunities.

Ideally we'd recognize that we can more optimally load from the argument
registers into a V4SF register of course (but due to the way we do argument
setup during expand this may not be easily possible).

It's of course the bad ABI choice that leads to this mess ...
