the reason I didn't use SPIRV-LLVM is because it only handles the OpenCL
variant of SPIR-V (last I checked) as well as being only for much older
versions of LLVM.

we would still need the scalar to vector conversion code, which is almost
all of the spir-v to llvm converter I'm writing as part of Kazan
(converting scalar spir-v to scalar llvm is trivial by comparison).
