At present cross instruction mask propagation is being done either using a GPR (e.g. vmask_gen patterns in x86.ad) or a vector register (for propagating results of a vector comparison or vector load mask operations).

This exposes these operands to RA and scheduler; this will automatically facilitate spilling of live opmask registers across call sites.

There are other mask generating nodes like VectorCmpMask, VectorLoadMask which are not handled as the part of this patch. Conditional overriding of two routines, ideal_reg and bottom_type for mask generating IDEAL nodes and modifying the instruction patterns to have new opmask operands enables instruction selector to associate opmask register class with USE/DEF operands  for such MachNodes. This will constrain  the allocation set for these operands to opmask registers(K1-K7).

Adding blank line between functions? (Here and all the other ad file changes.)

Since you have changed this file, I think you need to update the copyright header year from 2020 to 2021. (And all the other files you touched.)

"opmask purpose registers" --> "opmask registers"?

Remove space between '( lrg.mask'.
