hmm, how about having XLEN only defined for ops where both elwids are
guaranteed equal? though on second thought that isn't a good idea
because future svp64 revisions might want to use more space to have
separate elwids for ops that currently only have space for 1...

I guess in summary having both SLEN and DLEN seems like the only viable path...
