[PATCH] RISC-V: Support TARGET_VECTORIZE_PREFERRED_VECTOR_ALIGNMENT to optimize codegen of RVV auto-vectorization

[juzhe.zhong@rivai.ai]

Oh, I see. I try this way:
static poly_uint64
riscv_vectorize_preferred_vector_alignment (const_tree type)
{
  if (riscv_v_ext_vector_mode_p (TYPE_MODE (type)))
    return TYPE_ALIGN (TREE_TYPE (type));
  return TYPE_ALIGN (type);
}

And disable both TARGET_VECTORIZE_VECTOR_ALIGNMENT_REACHABLE
and TARGET_VECTORIZE_BUILTIN_VECTORIZATION_COST

Both VLA and VLS works well after the testing of align-1.c && align-2.c
Is the way you prefer ?

But I am not sure whether it's safe since both my downstream GCC and ARM SVE didn't use this approach.
I am Ok of both for now. So do you prefer the second approach ? Then I can send V2 patch.

Why we block VLS here and then relaxed by different way in another patch?
