Hi Sebastian,
Nope, I don't have access to the official documentation and I guess you have to sign an NDA or something to get it.
This worries me. If the designers of the VMX128 instruction set have not publicly released their ISA then using unofficial information in this way may be a breach of their copyright.
Also - do you have a binutils copyright assignment on file with the FSF?
Without such an assignment we could not consider accepting your patch.
Should there an option like "-mxenon" which resembles the xenon cpu or should there be a modifier like "-mvmx128" which selectively actives the VMX128 instruction set?
Go with "-mvmx128". That is the name of the ISA extension. There may well be other CPUs in the future which support this extension, so using "-mxenon" might become obsolete one day.
