One more question. It seems that this patchset uses the RISC-V scalar crypto extensions. I've been hearing rumors that the RISC-V scalar crypto extensions have been superseded by the vector crypto extensions. Is that accurate? I wonder if it's worth putting effort into implementations that use the scalar crypto extensions when they might already be obsolete. - Eric
