Hi Zhongyao,

Sure, I can help pick this up.

Thanks for the updated status and spec links. Since Zvabd is now in 
Freeze and
the only remaining change appears to be the mnemonic rename, I will 
refresh my
earlier binutils patch and update it against the current spec.

I will check the previous comments and post a new version after updating the
opcodes/gas changes and tests.

Best regards,
Jiawei
