Usage of the Vector API in java.base

[Ludovic Henry]

Hello,

As I'm looking at accelerating some operations in the core lib with the soon to be available Vector API, I'm running into a trivial hurdle: how to make the `jdk.incubator.vector` module available in the `java.base` module. Being relatively new to the world of Java, I've not mastered yet the whole module thing, especially in the context of the OpenJDK build system.

So is it something that would even be possible, or would it introduce circular dependencies which would be impossible to work with? And if it is possible, do you know of where it would have been tried and documented?

Thank you very much,
Ludovic
