[Viswanathan, Sandhya]

Hi,


Following up on review requests of API [0], Java implementation [1] and

General Hotspot changes[3] for Vector API, here's a request for review

of x86 backend changes required for supporting the API:



JEP: https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/338

JBS: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8223347

Webrev:http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~sviswanathan/VAPI_RFR/x86_webrev/webrev.00/



Complete implementation resides in vector-unstable branch of

panama/dev repository [3].

Looking forward to your feedback.

Best Regards,
Sandhya
