test case

As demonstrated in the attached test case, the loop vectorizer will happily
turn a consecutive i1* load/store into a <n x i1>* load/store. However, my
understanding is that, although LLVM is currently inconsistent about this, the
desired memory representation of <n x i1> is packed, and so this transformation
is invalid.

The easiest thing will be to disable vectorizing i1*; alternatively, we could
vectorize by casting to <n x i8>* and back again.</pre>
