-An undefined element in the mask vector prevents a poisoned vector

+A ``poison`` element in the mask vector specifies that the resulting element

+For backwards-compatibility reasons, LLVM temporarily also accepts ``undef``

 For scalable vectors, the only valid mask values at present are
-``zeroinitializer`` and ``undef``, since we cannot write all indices as
