I can add that, but what if we slightly alter it to something like

short x[8], y[8];

int dot() {
        int ret = 0;
        for (int i = 0; i < 8; i++)
                ret ^= x[i] * y[i];
        return ret;
}

?  It's no longer a dot product but shouldn't vec_widen_smult_{even,odd}_v8hi
be used anyway?
