[PATCH] [X86, AVX] use blends instead of insert128 with index 0

[Andrea Di Biagio]

Thanks Sanjay.
I made a couple of comments (see below). Otherwise the patch looks good to me.

So, the INSERT_SUBVECTOR node is always generated regardless of whether 'ScalarType' is floating point or not. I think it makes sense to factor out the common logic between the floating point and the integer case. For example, you can create the INSERT_SUBVECTOR node immedately after line 175. This will allow you to get rid of the code at around line 203.

Would it be possible to also have a test where the vector insertion is not performed on a zero vector? Apparently all the test cases you modified only seem to test the case case where a vector is inserted in the low 128-bit lane of a zero vector.
