I think the main reviews on this are:

[SVE][IR] Scalable Vector IR Type
https://reviews.llvm.org/D32530
https://reviews.llvm.org/D53137
https://reviews.llvm.org/D47770

These are the first step into scalable vector support in IR (extending
the type system, vector representations, etc).

First is the bulk and the one that needs a lot of eyes (reviews very
welcome!). Second is mostly mechanical and third may change in
response to reviews in the first.

I've added you as reviewer to the ones you weren't.

RFC: Prototype & Roadmap for vector predication in LLVM
https://reviews.llvm.org/D57504

This one is tangent, but important as SVE is fully predicated. The
discussions are good (as you know :), but it's a complicated subject,
and a very large patch, may not go in soon or in one go.
