I think to correctly emit IR for intrinsics like mm256_castsi128_si256 (D103874 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D103874> has more context) efficient handling of this kind of pattern is necessary:

  %v = freeze <n x ty> poison
  %w = shufflevector %a, %v, mask

The zeroinitializer folding is done by InstCombine's visitFreeze, which should be fixed maybe.
I'll play with some patterns and create patches for this.
