[PATCH] [X86] Try to combine vector anyext + and into a vector zext

[Michael Kuperstein]

Thanks a lot for the review, Andrea!

You're right, it deserves its own function.

Regarding legalization - I think it should be guarded by BeforeLegalizeOps(), I've accidentally put it before the guard. 
I could make it BeforeLegalize(), but that's probably a bit redundant, since, at least for the cases I've looked at the vector_shuffle in question is created as part of vector ops legalization.

Right, either the check here or the second check (in 24685) is redundant.
I'd rather remove the check in 24685, to be honest.

Right.
