I would have seen the error if I had done ARM SVE regression testing.
But I only did ARM NEON testing, which does not make use of this, and
I had forgotten that.

Like PPC, NEON sets a "saw saturation" bit.  I think I'll do the same
trick as we did for ppc to compute that with vector insns.

I've given all of my r-b...
