These seem to be the wrong way round, e.g. see the definition at Instruction::mayReadFromMemory().
If an instruction only writes to memory then it's known to not read memory, and so on.

Only noticed this when using VPWidenIntrinsicRecipe in a local patch and wondered why it kept on getting DCEd despite the intrinsic writing to memory.
