This is just the handling the construction of the vector. Most surprising here
is the fact that all three null stores in %entry are dead, but not eliminated.
is the fact that all three null stores in %entry are dead (because we do no
cross-block DSE).
Also surprising is that %conv isn't simplified to 0 in %....exit.thread.i.i.
This is a because the client of LazyValueInfo doesn't simplify all instruction
operands, just selected ones.

@ -2192,6 +2196,9 @@ This shouldn't need the ((zext (%n - 1)) + 1) game, and it should ideally fold
the two memset's together. The issue with %n seems to stem from poor handling
of the original loop.
To simplify this, we need SCEV to know that "n != 0" because of the dominating
conditional. That would turn the second memset into a simple memset of 'n'.

4 stores on each iteration. If the struct were 8 bytes, this gets turned into
a memset.
In order to handle this we have to:
A) Teach clang to generate metadata for memsets of structs that have holes in
them.
B) Teach clang to use such a memset for zero init of this struct (since it has
a hole), instead of doing elementwise zeroing.
