I'm still thinking this patch through. Functional Fixed HW is _not_ precluded by the reduced HW profile, unfortunately (at least according to Dong Wei, the spec chair for 5.0). I am still trying to figure out

Hi Al,
Did I say something so serious that make you uncomfortable? if yes, I'm so sorry for that, I didn't mean it, I just can't control English language :(
No worries, mate :). I am not the least bit uncomfortable -- your English is fine. I was not being clear in my statements, so that needed to be corrected.
As a matter of fact, I have to say your English is much, much, much better than my Mandarin :).
what that really means for these registers -- on the one hand, it makes no sense at all to use them in reduced HW profile, but on the other hand they are not prohibited.
do you mean I should suspend the patches to upstream until we get this clear?
No, I think the better thing to do is what you have already suggested: submit these upstream and see if there is some sort of feedback that can clarify things.
Ok, will do.
