RFR: Webrev for vectorIntrinsics branch

[Henry Jen]

Hi,

I prepared a webrev for what I think belongs to vectorIntrinsics branch, which is to host intrinsic-based vector API implementation. You can review the webrev at
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~henryjen/panama/vectorIntrinsics/webrev/

This is base on the snapshot we took from panama/panama on beginning of October, there are quite a few commits after this, which we should be able to apply on top of this repo later.

Basically it should contains jdk.incubator.vector and hotspot changes for C2 intrinsics. If I understand it correctly, what’s under test/panama/vector-draft-spec are now jdk.incubator.vector, so that can be removed.

We will have another vectorSnippets branch to host snippet-based vector API implementation, that should have the rest under test/panama/ except vector-draft-spec.

Please correct me if above understanding doesn’t make sense to you or any issue in the webrev.

Cheers,
Henry
