<pre>From the included testcase, only the fourth function is optimal - a single
unaligned load of i16, "movzx eax, word ptr [rdi]".
The other functions load the two bytes separately and pack them with shl and
or.
I believe it has to do with the fourth function using llvm.memcpy, which
somehow takes precedence over the individual loads and everything is kept as
one i16.
On IRC "-mllvm -combine-loads" was suggested, which does turn the first three
functions into the same single i16 load as the fourth, but I've also been told
that it causes regressions in other situations so it's not enabled by default.
