SiFive's x280 CPU has a vector unit that VLEN/2 bits wide. This
means that LMUL=1 operations take 2 to process all VLEN bits.
This patch adds a DLenFactor tuning parameter and applies it to
TuneSiFive7. getLMULCost has been updated to use this factor in
its calculations. I've added an x280 command line to one cost
model test to demonstrate the effect.
Can you add a comment here which defines DLEN?
As an organizing principle, I was a bit surprised by the factor description. I was expecting something more along the lines of VLEN (zvlNb) where we have specific sizes and then computed the factor from VLEN/DLEN if needed. Not objecting, just commenting.
