Optimizations and intent to add vector abstraction to GNU Lightning, that is, extend https://www.gnu.org/software/lightning/manual/html_node/The-instruction-set.html for vector instructions. My goal is to have a close to real hardware abstraction to what is provided by risc-v and I believe, sometime in the future we should have for Loongarch. > 4) do you care about running an upstream Linux kernel on this board, or is > a vendor kernel sufficient for your work?
