The RISC-V H-extension is now frozen. Please refer to the latest
RISC-V privilege specification v1.12 which is in public review.
https://github.com/riscv/riscv-isa-manual/releases/download/riscv-privileged-20210915-public-review/riscv-privileged-20210915-public-review.pdf

Currently, the RISC-V H-extension is on it's way to being ratified.
https://wiki.riscv.org/display/TECH/ISA+Extensions+On+Deck+for+Freeze+Milestone
https://wiki.riscv.org/display/TECH/ISA+Extensions+On+Deck+-+Ready+for+Ratification+Milestone

Here's the announcement on twitter from Mark (CTO, RISC-V International)
https://twitter.com/mark_riscv/status/1441375977624375296

This means the KVM RISC-V series now satisfies the
requirements of the Linux RISC-V patch acceptance policy.

Can we consider the KVM RISC-V series for Linux-5.16 ?
