If we widen illegal types instead of promoting, we should be able to rely on the type legalizer to create the vector_inreg operations for us with some caveats.
This patch disables combineToExtendVectorInReg when we are using widening.
I've enabled custom legalization for v8i8->v8i64 extends under avx512f since the type legalizer would want to create a vector_inreg with a v64i8 input type which isn't legal without avx512bw. So we go to v16i8 with custom code using the relaxation of rules we get from D54346.
I've also enable custom legalization of v8i64 and v16i32 operations with with AVX. When the input type is 128 bits, the default splitting legalization would extend first 128->256, then do the a split to two 128 pieces. Extend each half to 256 and then concat the result. The custom legalization I've added instead uses a 128->256 bit vector_inreg extend that only reads the lower 64-bits for the low half of the split. Then shuffles the high 64-bits to the low 64-bits and does another vector_inreg extend.
Use is128BitVector() ?
