So, is the goal of this that threads in the warp other than the 0th
don't do anything except in vectorized regions, where all the threads
in the warp participate in the vectorization?
Thus, for OpenMP, should the whole warp be a single thread
(thus omp_get_thread_num () would be tid.x >> 5)?
If so, is the GCC vectorizer going to be taught about this?
