I worry about storing vendor extensions in this file. Because vendor
extensions are not standardized, they can only be expected to have the
desired behavior on hardware with the appropriate vendor id. A couple
months ago I sent a patch to address this by handling vector extensions
independently for each vendor [1]. I dropped the patch because it
relied upon Heiko's T-Head vector extension support that he stopped
working on. However, I can revive this patch so you can build off of it.

This scheme has the added benefit that vendors do not have to worry
about conficting extensions, and the kernel does not have to act as a
key registry for vendors.

What are your thoughts?
