Nice! Thanks for doing this. It seems we can have one general proc
check_vect_slp_store_usage, and pass the different arguments to it
according to v2qi, v4qi and v2hi.
And I assume all these kinds of test cases are simple, it won't have
the possibility that this pre-test says slp-ed while the actual case
says no when there are some other stmts affecting the profitability
evaluation. Otherwise, we might have to force unlimited cost model
for both.
