--- Comment #1 from Alexandre Oliva <oliva at gnu.org> ---
I'm a little puzzled (not just because I can hardly make head from tail of the
svp64 web page :-)

why bother with "svp64 0x..." syntax, if we already have .long?


as for making sense of the page.  I guess it must all make some sense if you
have some vague notion of what the prefixes are supposed to accomplish, but
that's not me.  I could use some examples, or pointers to earlier, more
complete and self-contained docs that would give me some sense of what's
supposed to be going on there.

not that I really need to be able to make sense of it before I can implement
binutils changes, mind you; it just helps avoid silly mistakes, and wrong
assumptions, and I figured I might be able to help validate the proposed
design, if only I had the required background.  alas, I suppose I'm missing
background on GPUs, ppc 3.1 opcodes, and the earlier simd design for risc-v
