Actually I'm wondering whether we need them--vector transfer ops are high level abstractions; they provide powerful mechansisms with padding, in bounds, and permutation maps. We'd typically want to first lower these transfer ops into vector.load/store or memref.load/store and then lower them to SPIR-V. Have you considered that paths?
There is a description in the document. That is, "A vector.transfer_read can be lowered to a simple load if all dimensions are specified to be within bounds and no mask was specified". Under these conditions, does it make sense to convert transfer_read/transfer_write to SPIR-V directly? I have not tried the way to convert transfer_read to memref.load though.
