The sve.convert.to.svbool lowering has the effect of widening a logical
<M x i1> vector representing lanes into a physical <16 x i1> vector
representing bits in a predicate register.
In general, if converting to svbool, the contents of lanes in the
physical register might not be known. For sve.convert.to.svbool the new
lanes are specified to be zeroed, requiring 'and' instructions to mask
off the new lanes. For lanes coming from a ptrue or a comparison,
however, they are known to be zero.
