Not sure what others think but I see `canVectorizeMemory` as being about load/store address analysis rather than "the only place to analyse load/store instructions". In this case you don't care about the addresses, you just want to guard against introducing side effects which I think can all be contained in `isVectorizableEarlyExitLoop`?
It kind of feels odd for `canVectorizeMemory` to depend on work done by `isVectorizableEarlyExitLoop`, when the "reason to reject an instruction" is largely the same.
