ok done (whew), bit of a scary moment where i had been trying to put
in mret / sret svstatus restoration at the same time, and broke stuff
(whoops).  set on the SVSTATE CSR is definitely broken.

once that was out the way (gave up, commented-out the CSRRW on
SVSTATE), i managed to morph the code, introducing just a single
FSM-based loop on setvl with a single argument rather than 2.

subvl unit tests (including predicated addi) still work, and so do the
other unit tests (whew)
