yehyeh. right now, to stand a chance to hit oct 2020, we've cut FP,
cut vector, cut regfile stratification - everything. absolute basic
processor.

:)
we do however need to have the conversation with them, to plan ahead.
page xii (OpenPOWER Architecture Sandbox), i see where they're going...
"Developers are encour-aged to provide a means to disable custom extensions
to present an architecture that is supported by standard
system software and toolchain"
um... that's precisely what ISANS / ISAMUX is for!!
*smacks forehead*.
the language is nowhere near strong or clear enough. "encouraged" is
inadequate. it needs to be, "if you go one route, you follow these
procedures. if you go the other route you follow _these_ procedures"
Alain, Yehowshua: we need to talk with Hugh about this.
