The InstrEmitter can sometimes insert a copy after an IMPLICIT_DEF
before connecting it to the vector instruction. This occurs when
constrainRegClass reduces to a class with less than 4 registers.
I believe LMUL8 on masked instructions triggers this since the
result can only use the v8, v16, or v24 register group as the mask
is using v0.

It's a shame we can't test this with something like MIR. So it sounds like you're seeing an implicit def of VRM8 and a copy from VRM8 to VRM8NoV0?

Add mir test containing the pattern I'm seeing. Run it through finalize-isel. Without the patch we use 27 instead of 91 for the vsetvli immediate.

Ah yeah I forgot that this is all run during finalize-isel so we can in fact use MIR. Thanks, LGTM.
