Ah, I didn't realize Loongson was little-endian only. In that case (with mid-end
reductions-via-shifts changes pushed) I don't think I have actually broken
anything, or at least, no MIPS platform that exists :).
However, yes, that would seem a safe bet (and simpler than my linked patch that

I will post a patch to remove vec_shl and only support vec_shr for
little endian. This is on the
