Currently vector-generic checks whether the back end implements the
smul_optab for the specific vector type; if not, it scalarizes the code.
I'm not sure what else it should do. Targets might implement the
character multiply in several different ways (directly, using
mult-even/mult-odd, using mult-hi/mult-lo), so anything other than
leaving the multiply in place could be wrong for some targets. Am I
misunderstanding your point?
