The loop vectorizer usually vectorizes any instruction it can and then extracts the elements for a scalarized use. On SystemZ, all elements containing addresses must be extracted into address registers (GRs). Since this extraction is not free, it is better to have the address in a suitable register to begin with. By forcing address arithmetic instructions and loads of addresses to be scalar after vectorization, two benefits result: * No need to extract the register * LSR optimizations trigger (LSR isn't handling vector addresses currently) Benchmarking show improvements on SystemZ with this new behaviour. Any other target could try this by returning false in the new hook prefersVectorizedAddressing().
