* To hold all Vector Context, five SPRs are needed for userspace
(MSR.PR=1 Problem State). If Supervisor and Hypervisor mode are to
also support Simple-V they will correspondingly need five SPRs each.
-* Five 6-bit XO (A-Form) "Management" instructions are needed.
+* Five 6-bit XO (A-Form) "Management" instructions are needed. These are
+ Scalar 32-bit instructions and *may* be 64-bit-extended in future
+ (safely within the SVP64 space: no need for an EXT001 encoding).
**Summary of Opcode space**
* 75% of one Major Opcode (equivalent to the rest of EXT017)
-* Five 6-bit operations.
+* Five 6-bit XO 32-bit operations.
No further opcode space *for Simple-V* is envisaged to be required for
at least the next decade (including if added on VSX)
**Vector Management Instructions**
+These fit into QTY 5of 6-bit XO 32-bit encoding:
+
* **setvl** - Cray-style Scalar Vector Length instruction
* **svstep** - used for Vertical-First Mode and for enquiring about internal
state
