Hello,

First off thanks for the patches!

QEMU has a policy of accepting draft specs as experimental. We
currently support the v0.7.1 Vector extension for example, so this
does not need to be an RFC and can be a full patch series that can be
merged into master.

I have applied the first few patches (PR should be out next week) and
they should be in the QEMU 5.1 release. QEMU is currently in a freeze
so I won't be able to merge this series for 5.1. In saying that please
feel free to continue to send patches to the list, they can still be
reviewed.

In general we would need to gracefully handle extension upgrades and
maintain backwards compatibility. This same principle doesn't apply to
experimental features though (such as the vector extension) so you are
free to remove support for the v0.7.1. For users who want v0.7.1
support they can always use the QEMU 5.1. release. Just make sure that
your series does not break bisectability.

Thanks again for the patches!

Alistair

Hi Alistair,

Thanks for the review.

Currently I would prefer to drop 0.7.1 support because I don't know if there's
a good way to keep both 0.7.1 and 0.9 opcodes. I'm afraid it would cause the
encoding overlap while compiling with decodetree.

Does decodetree support any feature for multi-version opcodes?
Or if it can use something like C macros to compile with the opcodes by the vspec
user assigned? If there's any good way to keep both versions, then I can try to rearrange
my codes to support both vspecs.

Otherwise, I'll keep on my current approach to drop the support of v0.7.1 as the way
Richard has mentioned:
If you don't want to simultaneously support 0.7.1 and 0.9/1.0, then you should
simply remove 0.7.1 in the first patch, so that there's no confusion.

Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Thanks
