There are three minor issues,

1. Probably need to add new extension support in
riscv_multi_subset_supports_ext, although it is just used for
reporting better error messages.
2. The operand L seems only to be used for t-head for now, so it
should be still a vendor operand, named with the X prefix probably
better.
3. I remember Lifang mentioned before that we should add these vendor
stuff based on the vendor infra in the integration branch, and that's
what I asked him to rebase his patches  to there before, since the
previous policy cannot accept vendor stuff on master branch.  But now
I think most of us agree to accept t-head extensions on mainline
directly, so I figured these things cannot be blocked by the vendor
infra and cannot be committed.  That doesn't mean we don't need the
vendor infra, that means we can support the vendor infra later if me
or someone have time to move them back to mainline.

Therefore, these patches look good to me for now, thank you very much
for spending so much time to implement these.  But personally, I think
we should get the approval from the T-Head guys at least.  Btw, If
these implementations are referred to and based on the integration
branch, then I think it would be better to keep at least the
co-authors there in the commit message here; if these patches are
re-write without referring to the implementation from the integration
branch, then I need to apologize to them, because I asked them to
rewrite their patches over there, and cannot be committed to mainline
at that time...

Not sure if it is necessary to add -mcpu in assembler, since the
compiler should recognize -mcpu, and will expand it to the correct
extensions to assembler.  If there are no objections for a period of
time, then please go ahead and commit these.

Thank you very much
Nelson
