Public review of Supervisor Binary Interface (SBI) Specification

[Atish Patra]

We are delighted to announce the start of the public review period for
the Non-ISA Supervisor Binary Interface (SBI) specification. The
SBI specification is considered as frozen now as per the RISC-V International
policies.

The review period begins today, Monday Jan 10, and ends on Monday
Jan 24 (inclusive).

The specification can be found here
https://github.com/riscv-non-isa/riscv-sbi-doc/releases/download/v1.0-rc1/riscv-sbi.pdf

which was generated from the source available in the following GitHub repo:
https://github.com/riscv-non-isa/riscv-sbi-doc

The specification is also attached in this email.

To respond to the public review, please either reply to this email or
send comments to the platform mailing list[1] or add issues to the
SBI GitHub repo[2]. We welcome all input and appreciate your time and
effort in helping us by reviewing the specification.

During the public review period, corrections, comments, and
suggestions, will be gathered for review by the Platform HSC members. Any
minor corrections and/or uncontroversial changes will be incorporated
into the specification. Any remaining issues or proposed changes will
be addressed in the public review summary report. If there are no
issues that require incompatible changes to the public review
specification, the platform HSC will recommend the updated
specifications be approved and ratified by the RISC-V Technical
Steering Committee and the RISC-V Board of Directors.

SBI specification is non-ISA specifications and will evolve over time
with new extensions as long as they are backward compatible. Any such
proposals for new extensions can be included in the future releases
after proper discussions in the platform working group meetings.

Thanks to all the contributors for all their hard work.
