Do I understand correctly that your patch just reorders passes? Because I need a bit different. We need to run SLP only for the widest possible VF at compile time and run SLP at full (for all possible VFs) only at link time.
Early optimization using small VF may affect other passes(alias analysis, loads/stores/allocas elimination, Loop Vectorization, SLP itself, etc.) and we need to run SLP at full only at link time.
