Is this the only feature that viterbi needs for vectorization ? 

>From some research that Tejas did earlier this year, I thought that
viterbi was among the hardest to vectorize because in addition to what
you mention we need to support vld/st2 or (ofcourse vzip and vld1 if we
don't support vld2) instructions and the other vbif / vbsl instructions
to support vectorization for viterbi. 

I see that we support v<cond> in the backend now but we don't support
the vector bitfield instructions like vbit / vbif and vbsl which can be
used for vector select other than through intrinsics. 

I could be of-course missing something here .... 

cheers
Ramana
