For which platform/compiler?
I checked, for x86_64 Linux XORPS(no avx)/VXORPS (with -mavx) is generated.
For PS4 we generate XORL.
I guess, we need to write something more generic, implying that an appropriate platform-specific XOR instruction is generated.

That's right. I think we should use the following wording to match other _mm_set* intrinsics documentation in this file.
/// This intrinsic is a utility function and does not correspond to a specific
/// instruction.
