Thanks Jeff's comment. > Presumably the difficulty here is we need to find a suitable hard > register so that we can emit the vsetvl. Yes. We use the GPR which has been flagged in the need_zeroed_regs to hold the vl. There should be one GPR we can use, otherwise, will throw an exception. > Do you need to save/restore the vector configuration before and after > clearing the vector registers?

I'll add some comments in the code and want to explain here first. We need not save/restore the vector configurations. Because, by design, the RVV requires vsetvl when using vector instructions. When users want to use the RVV insns next, they should have to issue vsetvl first. Thanks, Yanzhang
