The Veyron-V1 CPU supports custom conditional arithmetic and conditional-select/move operations referred to as XVentanaCondOps extension. In fact, QEMU RISC-V also has support for emulating XVentanaCondOps extension.
Let us detect XVentanaCondOps extension from ISA string available through DT or ACPI.

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?
