RFR (XXL): 8223347: Integration of Vector API (Incubator): x86 backend changes

[Viswanathan, Sandhya]

Hi Vladimir,

Thanks a lot for the feedback.

We used an old existing separate branch to share the code for review and to track changes.
We didn’t know how to change the name of the branch from vector-unstable to vector-stable.

Best Regards,
Sandhya

Changes seems fine. Nice work.

Why it is called "vector-unstable branch"?

Thanks,
