A lot of jdk/incubator/vector tests either fail with following exception

 java.lang.ClassCastException: class [B cannot be cast to class jdk.incubator.vector.ByteVector ([B is in module java.base of loader 'bootstrap'; jdk.incubator.vector.ByteVector is in module jdk.incubator.vector of loader 'bootstrap')
