New hook is related to vector instructions only. Vector instructions

architectures TARGET_SCHED_REASSOC_WIDTH does not give required
differentiation.
General hooks could be potentially reused in other algorithms/by other
architectures.
It already takes a "mode" argument. Couldn't you use a vector mode to
work this out ?
If it is not enough then please be more specific about the documentation
of this hook about where it is useful so that it's easy for people
reading the documentation to understand at a glance what purpose it serves.

Hi,
The patch introduces alternative way of permutations for load groups
of size 2 and 3 which should be faster on architectures with low
parallelism.
The patch gives 2 times gain on Silvermont to the test from PR52252
(in addition to already committed 3 times gain).
Patch passes bootstrap on x86. Make check is in progress.
Why do we need a new hook ? Can't you derive this information from
something which is equally badly named TARGET_SCHED_REASSOC_WIDTH
though used in the reassociation logic but also serves a similar
purpose ?
Also the documentation of this hook is incomplete at best and wrong at
worst as this is not applied everywhere in the vectorizer but just for
this special case for load store permuting. Implying this is useful
everywhere in the vectorizer does not appear to be correct.
