It's probably changes from the RVV cost modeling behavior, the patches are of course not supposed to change code generation.
These tests don't use dynamic LMUL (which needs a special flag and is not generally active) so it would be odd if they were affected by the costing changes. In particular we can't seem to find a vectype for some data refs any more and that is before costing. But I'll have another look soon, maybe I
missed something. -- Regards Robin
