[vector] failing tests

[Viswanathan, Sandhya]

Hi Brian,

Yes the tests are failing since the following changeset that changed the definition of Vector min/max/MinAll/MaxAll to match Math.min/Math/max:
changeset:   54176:9c63e91265fb
branch:      vectorIntrinsics
parent:      54149:d3b456d84b4e

summary:     Update max/min/maxAll/minAll Vector Api implementations and test cases

We are in the process of updating the x86 implementation to match the new Java specification.

Best Regards,
Sandhya

I have done a clean checkout of the vectorIntrinsics branch, and I'm finding that the test for jdk.incubator.vector are not all passing:

==============================
Test summary
==============================

The failures seem to have been introduced before

The intervening commits look like they were all related to AMD support, one of these is the culprit:
