This branch resolves two issues on Table 28.1 (Standard ISA extension names):
B
,K
andJ
are not going to be single-letter extensions, making those appearance in the Table 28.1 unnecessary (or even misleading and harmful).Those letters are referred in the section 28.6 (Additional Standard Extension Names) and Table 28.1 does not need them.
V
is plural (actuallyV
is an extension with some variable parameters such as vector length).See commit c1c77c4 for background of this proposal for
B
andJ
.For
K
, those might be helpful:misa.K
