Can I get an overview of the nds32 architecture (uses, quirks, reasons
for existing?) to add to the initial merge message? Just an overview,
not some kind of architecture manual thing.

Yeah, yeah, I can google it myself and write something up, but it's
the kind of information I'd like to see when merging an architecture I
hadn't really ever heard about, and I suspect most others haven't
either.
