Zvfhmin

The review period begins today, January 24, 2023 and ends on March 10, 2023 (inclusive).

This extension is part of the Unprivileged Specification.

These extensions are described in the PDF spec available at:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DtyeYOEYQq-TgDGHOp3vG8hod0nZ1Al9/view?usp=share_link

which was generated from the source available in the following GitHub repo:
https://github.com/riscv/riscv-v-spec/blob/d404111e51298b428f5bba6041d6288a6a209664/v-spec.adoc#zvfhmin-vector-extension-for-minimal-half-precision-floating-point-arithmetic

To respond to the public review, please either email comments to the
public isa-dev mailing list or add issues and/or pull requests (PRs)
to the Vector GitHub repo: https://github.com/riscv/riscv-v-spec/. We
welcome all input and appreciate your time and effort in helping us by
reviewing the specification.

During the public review period, corrections, comments, and
suggestions, will be gathered for review by the Vector Task Group. Any
minor corrections and/or uncontroversial changes will be incorporated
into the specification. Any remaining issues or proposed changes will
be addressed in the public review summary report. If there are no
issues that require incompatible changes to the public review
specification, the Unprivileged ISA Committee will recommend the
updated specifications be approved and ratified by the RISC-V
Technical Steering Committee and the RISC-V Board of Directors.

Thanks to all the contributors for all their hard work.

Chair, Unprivileged ISA Committee
