The "vect256" branch now has a vectorization factor argument for UNITS_PER_SIMD_WORD (allowing selection of different vector sizes). Patches to support that would need backporting to 4.5 if that looks useful. Could investigate the feasibility of doing that.
Backports to 4.5 would indeed be nice, but the target here is to improve vectorization upstream.
Also, the list in the task was just ideas to get started on, there's no reason to limit investigations to that list, if it turns out to be incomplete - it's not like it was written with any real effort.
