Hi Sandhya
>There is mention of partial wrapping in java doc of fromValues in VectorShuffle.java:

Why the exceptional index is in the range [-VLENGTH..-1] in partially wrapping? Is it meaningful?
In VectorShuffle, Internal representation reorder is byte data. But for AArch64 SVE, maximum length of byte vector is 256(2048/8 bytes). If [-VLENGTH..-1] of reorder is unused, we can reinterpret them as [128, 255] in AArch64 backend.
