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.
