their documentation, usage examples, and a reference HDL implementation of
them?

basically yes. more to demonstrate the huge efficiency gains.

the problem with the HDL is that the REMAP engine is quite
complex to implement, it would need an entire grant on its
own, as element-width overrides is a critical dependency
and has not been implemented eirer.

i *did* intend to repeat the FPGA upload but with litex
developers being abusive i decided not to do it, created
ls2 instead, but again if the HDL in TestIssuer is not ready
there is no point.

hence instead i got everyone to focus on ISACaller.

the crypto instructions?

no, they are all under each individual bugreport.
hence why NLnet are having difficulties, but
(excuse my swearing) they should fucking well
have done the checking and review TWO MONTHS ago
when the RFPs were first raised!
