        <pre>If we're inserting more than one constant into a vector:

define <4 x float> @foo(<4 x float> %x) {
  %ins1 = insertelement <4 x float> %x, float 1.0, i32 1
  %ins2 = insertelement <4 x float> %ins1, float 2.0, i32 2
  ret <4 x float> %ins2
}

InstCombine could reduce that to a shufflevector:

define <4 x float> @goo(<4 x float> %x) {
  %shuf = shufflevector <4 x float> %x, <4 x float> <float undef, float 1.0,
float 2.0, float undef>, <4 x i32><i32 0, i32 5, i32 6, i32 3>
  ret <4 x float> %shuf
}

This can improve codegen (possibly a separate bug that the backend doesn't do
this too?):
