Hi Guo,

https://github.com/riscv/riscv-v-spec/blob/master/v-spec.adoc#vector-control-and-status-register-vcsr
"The vxrm and vxsat separate CSRs can also be accessed via fields in
the vector control and status CSR, vcsr."

Since vcsr will save all these information, I think it should be ok to
save vcsr only.
