About

Add HWPROBE based discovery for various Zv* extensions which are not implied by V-extension:

• Zvl32b

• Zvl64b

• Zvl128b

• Zvl256b

• Zvl512b

• Zvl1024b

The V-extension implies following features so these does not require separate discovery:

• Zvl128b

• EEW of 8, 16, and 32, and 64

• Vector configuration instructions (vsetvli/vsetivli/vsetvl)

• Vector load and store instructions

• Vector integer instructions

• Vector fixed-point arithmetic instructions

• Vector integer single-width and widening reduction operations

• Vector mask instructions

• Vector permutation instructions
