[Bug target/24074] New: (vector float){0, 0, b, a} code gen as not good as it should be

[pinskia at gcc dot gnu dot org]

Take the following code:
#define vector __attribute__((vector_size(16)))

float a; float b;
vector float fb(void) { return (vector float){ 0,0,b,a};}
--------
Currently we produce:
        movss   _a, %xmm1
        movss   _b, %xmm0
        unpcklps        %xmm1, %xmm0
        movaps  %xmm0, %xmm1
        xorps   %xmm0, %xmm0
        movlhps %xmm1, %xmm0
        ret
-----

But from what I hear the xorps and movlhps are useless instructions because 
those bits are already 
zero.
