> Hi, this is the basic masking support PR for Vector API mask operations on platforms like SVE/AVX-512. The main codes are from [1], which contains:
> 
> - The predicate register allocation for Arm SVE, and vector mask type definition.
> - The basic optimization for parts of the mask operations with masking feature. It contains:   
>  
>   1. Vector API java implementation changes for masked binary/store.
>   2. C2 compiler mid-end changes, including new vector intrinsics implementation and mask IRs.
> 
> Note that for easier discussion, this PR only provides the changes for limited masked operations (e.g. binary/store) and the mask generations (e.g. load/compare/maskAll). We will continue working on the following missing parts:
> 
> - Mask support for other operations (unary,ternary,reduction,load,etc.)
> - More mask IRs implementation (and/or/xor, toVector, allTrue, anyTrue, trueCount, eq, etc)
> - Vector boxing/unboxing support for mask type (deoptimization support for predicate registers)
> 
> Also note that this PR doesn't contain any backend implementations. So the blend pattern will be generated as before. Regarding to the AArch64 SVE backend support, we will create a separate PR based on this one in future.
