Thanks for response. I think it depends on how we implement 
TargetLowering. As you know, if it is not easy to match ISD node with 
native target instructions, we usually lower ISD nodes. The CodeGen's 
split function checks custom lowering first and try to split the 
EXTRACT_VECTOR_ELT node. At this moment, I am not sure how the ISD node 
is split with custom lowering because we need to manage the SpliVectors 
on DAGTypeLegalizer. I could scalarize all vector type on IR level. 
Additionally, several existing targets are using "MVT::i1" register class.

Thanks,
JinGu Kang

P.S. Edinburgh is also cloudy. :(
