ekalda opened a new pull request, #16523:
URL: https://github.com/apache/tvm/pull/16523

   This change will allow us to express scalable vectors through Ramp and 
Broadcast nodes, e.g.
   ```
   vec = tvm.tir.expr.Ramp(0, 1, 4 * tvm.tir.vscale())
   ```
   We will use negative values for `runtime::DataType` the encode the scalable 
lane values, e.g. the above example would result in `lanes` = -4. That's 
because the lanes in `runtime::DataType` are tied to DLPack standard which uses 
`uint16_t` for the lanes. The conversion happens in the node definitions and 
`runtime::DataType`, so the `int` and `uint16_t` values should never be exposed 
to the API user, especially after the string support has been added.
   
   Also include the TVMScript support for scalable Ramp and Broadcasts.
   
   Note that this patch doesn't include lowering to the appropriate LLVM 
vectors, support for data type string representation or `LoopVectorizer` 
support. All of these will be part of future patches.
