So I don't get anything like this in my testing.  What are the precise 
arguments you're using to build the testcase?
 
I'm compiling the test use a trunk compiler with
 
  -O3 --param riscv-autovec-preference=fixed-vlmax -march=rv64gcv
 
I get the attached code both before and after your patch.  Clearly I'm 
doing something different/wrong.    So my request is for the precise 
command line you're using and the before/after resulting assembly code.
