Thanks for these information ! I think your version to handle extension
group is pretty clean. Are you waiting for anything in particular except
a Signed-off: from Evan to submit that patch ? If so, can I backport
this patch in my branch, gather Evan SoB and rebase my series on top of it ?

I talked with Samuel and we agreed on the following plan: I'll actually
carry on the bitmanip ISA part and he will resubmit the Zkr with
archrandom part.

Which is the case with your version FWIU (ie, only the child extensions
are visible).

Indeed, and re-assembling the parent is IMHO duplication of the existing
information. Checking that the needed ISA extensions are present will be
simple enough (simple bitmask) so I'm not sure that re-assembling the
parents is necessary (But that's a personal statement and I'm pretty
sure others will like it to be provided directly).

Thanks,
