Probably on copying Arm too much :-) I hit "char is unsigned" (not really architectural, more of a toolchain issue) only this morning.
RISC-V was originally going to implement a hypervisor mode which would only have worked with Xen-like hypervisors. Luckily we were able to head that off early and the actual hypervisor extension we got can run KVM efficiently.

Not sure if you'll see this - going through old tabs - but I was curious, and just in case: what are the practical differences between Xen and KVM here?
