Without this patch, we split the 256-bit vector into halves and produced something like:
movzwl (%rdi), %eax
vmovd %eax, %xmm0
vxorps %xmm1, %xmm1, %xmm1
vblendps $15, %ymm0, %ymm1, %ymm0 ## ymm0 = ymm0[0,1,2,3],ymm1[4,5,6,7]
Now, we eliminate the xor and blend because those zeros are free with the vmovd:
movzwl (%rdi), %eax
vmovd %eax, %xmm0
This should be the final fix needed to resolve PR22685:
