Actually, now that I think of it, I'm going to temporarily un-review this.
From patch-acceptance.rst:
| Additionally, the RISC-V specification allows implementers to create
| their own custom extensions. These custom extensions aren't required
| to go through any review or ratification process by the RISC-V
| Foundation. To avoid the maintenance complexity and potential
| performance impact of adding kernel code for implementor-specific
| RISC-V extensions, we'll only consider patches for extensions that either:
|
| - Have been officially frozen or ratified by the RISC-V Foundation, or
| - Have been implemented in hardware that is widely available, per standard
| Linux practice.
The xventanacondops bits don't qualify under the first entry, and I
don't think they qualify under the second yet. Am I wrong?
