IIUC or1k is designed with 32 bit and 64 bit implementations in mind.
However, if there's no existing 64 bit toolchain for or1k yet, my
concern doesn't really matter. Even better if the ABI is 64 bit clean
before such toolchain is created.

Sounds good to me. Just go ahead with a v2 as per your suggestion.
