I too saw that presentation and I have compared notes with Juzhe before 
posting this.

As he has posted, what they want is different because their config 
register has an explicit length field whereas GCN just uses a mask to 
limit the length (more like AArch64, I think).

The RVV solution uses different logic in the gimple IR; this proposal is 
indistinguishable from the status quo at that point.
