Prior to Rust `nightly-2025-08-08`, LoongArch SIMD intrinsics used distinct vector types such as `v4i32`, `v8i32`, and others. Passing data between intrinsics of different types required explicit `mem::transmute` calls, introducing unnecessary boilerplate and complexity. This change adopts unified `m128i` and `m256i` types for all LoongArch SIMD intrinsics, eliminating redundant conversions and simplifying cross-intrinsic data handling.
