#5506: LLVM AST : needs an LlvmType ctor to represent vectors so that LLVM can
generate SIMD instructions

Comment(by dterei):
As for the vector 11 size example. Is the poor performance when the vector
isn't length that is multiple of the native vector size? OR when its not a
power of 2? The LLVM bug you linked to seems to indicate the latter. If
the latter it makes it easier for us to handle in GHC / Haskell code since
we don't need to know the native vector size, just handle power of 2
correction.
