It would be nice to be able to use the horizontal add instruction of ix86
processors. E.g. HADDPD adds the two 'double' numbers of a SIMD register (and
does the same for another register, too). Currently I can only manually extract
the vector components with LLVM's extractelement instruction and add them,
which will be translated to ix86 assembly code this way.
