Well, I actually did this over two years ago as reported on most other news sites: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sv4-_a_3BKg
I actually offered RISC-V and AMD to polish this proof of concept and get it upstream but neither of the two big companies want to fund 8-16 hours of my time to mainline it. It likely cost them more in employee salary than the humble 1000 to 2000 $ donation for my work I asked.
There you have it: if you rely on big cooperations instead of motivated individual open source developer experts you get your features 2½ years later. If you are lucky :wink:
