That's about efficiently implementing the vector saturation instructions in
TCG. See GEN_VXFORM_SAT in translate/vmx-impl.c.inc.
The SAT bit is represented as a vector that e.g. compares the result of
addition with the result of saturating addition. We don't need to resolve that
to a single bit until the VSCR register is read.
