There was a problem hiding this comment.
A bit hesitant about these changes because the GGML_SIMD abstraction was quite simple at unifying the various SIMD implementations. And now with SVE and RVV that do not fit in GGML_SIMD we add extra branches which complicates the code, while AFAIK the SVE and RVV hardware is not very ubiquitous today. Hence we increase the maintenance effort quite a bit disproportionately from the benefits.
Would be nice to think about some refactoring here to make the implementation more manageable in the future.

This PR introduces RVV support for several f32 vector kernels.
The implementation required refactoring the vectorization logic. Due to RVV's flexible vector length, its intrinsic types are sizeless, which prevents the compiler from creating arrays of vector registers (a similar limitation also can be found in Arm's SVE). This makes traditional loop unrolling techniques incompatible, necessitating a rewrite of the code to support RVV's architecture.
