Hi Charlie,
I have tested this patchset with ghostwrite rebased to linux commit da4373fbcf ("Merge tag 'thermal-6.12-rc7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm") [1] on my D1 Nezha board, with defconfig + CONFIG_ERRATA_THEAD_GHOSTWRITE=n, I got this message during boot:

Then, I patched here which replaces "this_vsize" with "riscv_v_vsize". The kernel boots normally and I can see “xtheadvector" in /proc/cpuinfo.
However, when I try to run the "v_exec_initval_nolibc" test, the kernel panics with these outputs:

Is something wrong with my setup?
