Backing out shuffle related overhaul done with [JDK-8304450](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8304450), we saw significant performance degradation with VectorAPI JMH and our internal benchmarks. Following two issues were filed on this recently.
1/ [JDK-8310459](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8310459): We observed significant performance drop in VectorAPI slice / unslice performance w.r.t to JDK-20. 2/ [JDK-8309373](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8309373): Performance drop in Vector-API based kernel with JDK-21. A follow-up JBS [JDK-8310691](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8310691) is created to address this in JDK-22.
