I wasn't really commenting on the comment so much as the intent.
It should be possible to run the testsuite with:
--target_board unix/--param=vect-partial-vector-usage=1
and get the right results.

I think that just means we want:
vect_len_load_store
the len_load_store equivalent of vect_fully_masked, i.e. whether
the target supports len load/store (regardless of whether the
--param enables it)
vect_partial_vectors
(vect_fully_masked || vect_len_load_store) && param != 0
vect_partial_vectors_usage_1
(vect_fully_masked || vect_len_load_store) && param == 1
vect_partial_vectors_usage_2
(vect_fully_masked || vect_len_load_store) && param == 2
Thanks,
