SimdPartMode partially solves this problem by explicitly reducing the set of
supported layouts to those that you can produce by a buddy allocator. this
removes the less useful lane sizes (that we realistically weren't going to ever
use anyway) and retains the more useful ones.

example table of supported and excluded layouts:
