vector casts of casts are eliminable. Transform this:

        %tmp = cast <4 x uint> %tmp to <4 x int>                ; <<4 x int>> [#uses=1]
        %tmp = cast <4 x int> %tmp to <4 x float>               ; <<4 x float>> [#uses=1]

into:

        %tmp = cast <4 x uint> %tmp to <4 x float>              ; <<4 x float>> [#uses=1]
