Frankly, I'm not even sure what exactly my input was. I recall I
participated in some discussions here and there, but it was so spread
in time and so long ago that I cannot even guess how it maps to this
task. :-)

> dmitry, does EUR 800 total sound good? 400 for me, 100 for lkcl, 300 for you (I expect it to be just a few lines of code since you only need to add SVP64 support to the insns i'm assuming already exist in binutils, so a lot of the payment covers time emailing back and forth)

I've checked, these are in binutils already indeed. I'll check whether
some basic code can be assembled with sv. variants and will report to
this task. If there are no pitfalls, I think the budget is fair.

It'd be great if you could do it, thanks for suggesting it! I'm afraid
to break something in budget-sync or, worse, hurt the audit.

OK, cool. I'll post my thoughts on 979 and provide some basic
information on the subtask(s?) there soon.
