> `isSimple` means native to some processor (as opposed to extended). But e.g. `MVT::v8i8` is both a //simple// and //vector// `EVT`. the scalar type for `MVT::v8i8` is `MVT::i8`, so  `VT.getScalarSizeInBits()==8`, i.e. `VT.getScalarSizeInBits() / 8 == 1`
Ha I see thx for the explanation and good catch!

@dmgreen @samparker what do you think?
I fail to see whether you considered `Alignment` being `0` when writing D65580.
For context see [this line](https://reviews.llvm.org/D82876#inline-761892) and [this line](https://reviews.llvm.org/D82876#inline-761893).

As-is, the whole test suite still passes.
