Subject: Re: [PATCH 1/1] riscv: Enable ARCH_HAS_FAST_MULTIPLIER for RV64I

Hi Palmer:

Thanks for your reply.

Frankly, I didn't test ARCH_HAS_FAST_MULTIPLIER on RV32,

so I cannot put it in RISCV platform.

I am trying to comparing ARM64 with Riscv to find out more optimization

configurations.

I suggest to enable ARCH_HAS_FAST_MULTIPLIER on RV64 first.

If someone else evaluate this on RV32, we could move it to RISCV platform.
