The second nested matrix replays each (n_get_bulk == n_put_bulk)
point with use_constant_values=1 to exercise the compile-time
constant bulk-size paths in test_loop().  This roughly doubles the
work for the get/put diagonal at every n_keep without adding new
signal: the cycles/op result for a constant bulk is interesting in
isolated inlining studies, not in routine regression sweeps.

Drop the replay.  The use_constant_values switch and its branches
in test_loop() are retained for now since they are exercised by
hand in any local benchmarking.

As far as I can see you delete the only place where use_constant_values
is set to 1. It looks suspicious and basically preserves dead code.
Since Morten added the code, the patch should wait for his approval.
