"Type punning" some aarch64 SVE via pointers causes an internal compiler error

[pinskia]

Take:

#include <arm_sve.h>

svint8_t f(svuint8x4_t s) {
	return *reinterpret_cast<svint8_t*>(&s);
}

Will cause an internal compile error:

fatal error: error in backend: Invalid size request on a scalable vector.
PLEASE submit a bug report to https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/ and include the crash backtrace, preprocessed source, and associated run script.

I believe this happens for passing any x4 type: https://godbolt.org/z/Y9PbYdWso

[vhscampos]

This happens in the debug info producer at the part where it processes function arguments. It tries to query the argument's size, but fails as the argument is of an SVE type. SVE types are sizeless according to the ACLE.
