[vector] New branch created vectorIntrinsics+mask

[Viswanathan, Sandhya]

Hi Xiaohong,

Please create a pull request containing only changes to the following files as a first step towards masking support for this new branch (vectorIntrinsics+mask).
1) *.java
2) *.ad with Matcher::match_rule_supported_masked_vector() set as false for every architecture
3) The changes to the following files if and as needed to create the blend node as before:
     vmIntrinsics.hpp, c2compiler.cpp, classes.hpp, lcm.cpp, library_call.hpp, node.hpp, vectorIntrinsics.cpp, vectornode.cpp/.hpp, vmStructs.cpp

We can then review this part and get it checked in as soon as possible.

Best Regards,
Sandhya

Hi,

I created a new branch:

  https://github.com/openjdk/panama-vector/tree/vectorIntrinsics+mask

branching from:

  https://github.com/openjdk/panama-vector/tree/vectorIntrinsics

Where we can collaborate on the vector mask work, without perturbing any work in vectorIntrinsics. Should hopefully make collaboration easier and faster.

Paul.
