The main reason is: for 2048-bits, the max vector length for byte is "2048 / 8 = 256" which is out of the byte range "-128 ~ 127". The above cases do the shuffles with a random index in the range [0, 256), and the index value will be saved to a byte array. For indexes that above "127", their actual values are negative. So the valid lane elements for API "selectFrom" should be 0 ~ 127 for bytes, it's better to limit the indexes in the tests.
