Re: [PATCH -next v20 20/26] riscv: Add prctl controls for userspace vector management

From: Andy Chiu

How about adding the following 2 patches to deal with the problem.
However, I am concerned if this makes ELF_HWCAP too complicated. e.g.
Future extensions may as well want to do something here after we create
an entry here.

Thanks,
Andy
