I agree in general, but in this case it's hard to analyze for vectors. What we
already did is the equivalent to the scalar case:
  %A = sub <2 x i8> 0, %y
  %B = sdiv <2 x i8> %x, %A
-->
  %B = sdiv <2 x i8> %x, %y

With r61195 I just added the ability to flip negatives in constant vectors:
  %A = sdiv <2 x i8> %x, <i8 1, i8 -2>
-->
  %A = sdiv <2 x i8> %x, <i8 1, i8 2>

But for a non-constant vector we'd have walk the insertelement chain that made
up the vector, looking for negate-able values. That's hard enough to implement
that I wont do it unless you demonstrate it's a real-world problem.
