Looks like Linux v6.5 is going to be interesting for RISC-V, getting support for ACPI and for the Vector extension :)

@tommythorn @conor Well, it’s better than coming up with your own way of doing things, and then spending the next two decades fixing up that mess.

ACPI is complicated and messy, but it also has had a quarter century to become well-tested and known. It’s not the pain-point it used to be.

I’ll take a old stable mess (that we have to deal with anyway) over a shiny new mess any day.

@tommythorn Sometimes I feel like a broken record, complaining about the same things all the time - but I'm more than a wee bit "interested" in how ACPI is going to deal with ISA extensions. They've made the same mistake of having a nigh-on unrestricted ISA string (at least per the ECR when I read it) as the method for communication. We are already off to a less than optimal start as the definitions don't match "riscv,isa" in DT land!
