     setvli VL=8    : setvl r5, r0, VL=8

+Additional pseudo-op for obtaining VL without modifying it:

 Note that whilst it is possible to set both MVL and VL from the same immediate, it is not possible to set them to different immediates in the same instruction.  That would require two instructions.
