Ya, I agree -- I think the problems here are in being confident we can actually 
declare a stable RV32I Linux ABI in the next week, not this actual patch set.  
I think we should keep it out of tree for this release -- when we did the RV64I 
port is was too rushed but there we at least had the existence of a handful of 
Linux distros to point to.  If we do this right we can just make a backport of 
the RV32I stuff to 2.28, do an experimental distro port, and then have 
confidence that the 2.28 will actually work.

I think we should merge this soon after 2.28 branches as opposed to soon before 
2.28 branches.  As far as I know there's no distros chomping at the bit for 
RV32I anyway, so it's not like delaying this for a release cycle will cause too 
many headaches like it would have with the RV64I port.
