+    //   vector<3xi8>
+    //
+    // Since we are effectively loading 16 bits (2xi8) from the memref with the
+    // new mask, while originally we only wanted to effectively load 12 bits
+    // (3xi4) from the memref, we need to set the second half of the last i8
+    // that was effectively loaded (i.e. the second i8) to 0.

I'm not sure I see how to do this. Do you mean having a loop of `arith.select` based on the index?
