> In `*VectorLoadStoreTests.java`, `loadMemorySegmentMaskIOOBE` and `storeMemorySegmentMaskIOOBE` may fail because `int index = fi.apply((int) a.byteSize())` can generate random indices that result in misaligned addresses, leading to SIGBUS on hardware that disallows misaligned vector accesses.
>
> Some RISC-V hardware supports fast misaligned scalar accesses but not vector ones, which causes SIGBUS when executing these tests with misaligned vector memory operations.
>
> After [JDK-8368732](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8368732), we can use `AlignVector` to check the result on platforms with or without fast misaligned vector accesses. When misaligned vector accesses are not supported, it is possible to completely disable the VM’s VectorAPI support by setting `EnableVectorSupport`, without affecting auto-vectorization.
>
> In addition, after running fastdebug tests including `jdk_vector, jdk_vector_sanity, hotspot_vector_1, hotspot_vector_2, compiler/vectorapi, compiler/vectorization`, we found that some IR-related tests require EnableVectorSupport. Therefore, we added `@requires vm.opt.EnableVectorSupport == true` to skip these tests.
>
> We can check the status of EnableVectorSupport as follows:
>
> On k1
> $ java --add-modules=jdk.incubator.vector -Xlog:compilation -version
> [0.737s][info][compilation] EnableVectorSupport=false
> [0.738s][info][compilation] EnableVectorReboxing=false
> [0.738s][info][compilation] EnableVectorAggressiveReboxing=false
>
> On qemu
> $ java --add-modules=jdk.incubator.vector -Xlog:compilation -version
> [3.048s][info][compilation] EnableVectorSupport=true
> [3.050s][info][compilation] EnableVectorReboxing=true
> [3.051s][info][compilation] EnableVectorAggressiveReboxing=true
>
>
> ### Test (fastdebug)
> - [x] Run jdk_vector, jdk_vector_sanity, hotspot_vector_1, hotspot_vector_2, compiler/vectorapi, compiler/vectorization on k1
