Hi Jerry, I'm wondering if you have an update on this?  Do you need any help?

I'm also wondering about riscv.pm and the choice of generating the crypto
instructions from .words instead of using the assembler.  It makes it
significantly harder to review the code, IMO.  Can we depend on assembler
support for these instructions, or is that just not ready yet?
