One more question. It seems that this patchset uses the RISC-V scalar crypto
extensions. I've been hearing rumors that the RISC-V scalar crypto extensions
have been superseded by the vector crypto extensions. Is that accurate? I
wonder if it's worth putting effort into implementations that use the scalar
crypto extensions when they might already be obsolete.
