Or alternatively we should do something slightly more complicated by trying to find a legal type for ISD::STORE. But I don't know if there already exist some helper for that or if we would need to invent it.

That one could perhaps be used in some way. But I don't think it really guarantees to return a type that isn't using a packed layout when used as a vector element type etc. I think it would complicate the code a bit if using that one instead of getRoundIntegerType.
