Multi-letter extensions can be probed using exising
riscv_isa_extension_available API now. It doesn't support versioning
right now as there is no use case for it.
Individual extension specific implementation will be added during
each extension support.

By the way, does a similar parsing exist for opensbi as well?
Things like svpbmt as well as zicbom have CSR bits controlling how
these functions should behave (enabling them, etc), so I guess
opensbi also needs to parse the extensions from the ISA string?
No. Currently, OpenSBI relies on the CSR read/write & trap method to
identify the extensions [1].

https://github.com/riscv-software-src/opensbi/blob/master/lib/sbi/sbi_hart.c#L404
I guess my question is more, who is supposed to set CBIE, CBCFE bits in the
ENVCFG CSR. I.e. at it's default settings CMO instructions will cause
illegal instructions until the level above does allow them.

When the kernel wants to call a cache-invalidate, from my reading menvcfg
needs to be modified accordingly - which would fall in SBI's court?
I think so. I had the same question for the SSTC extension as well.
This is what I currently do:

1. Detect menvcfg first, detect stimecmp
2. Enable SSTC feature only if both are available
3. Set the STCE bit in menvcfg if SSTC is available

Here is the patch
https://github.com/atishp04/opensbi/commit/e6b185821e8302bffdceb4633b413252e0de4889
Hmm, the CBO fields are defined as WARL (write any, read legal),
so I guess some sort of trap won't work here.

The priv-spec only points to the cmo-spec for these bits and the cmo-spec
does not specifiy what the value should be when cmo is not present.

In the future, zicbom can be detected in the same manner. However,
svpbmt is a bit tricky as it doesn't
define any new CSR. Do you think OpenSBI needs to detect svpbmt for any reason ?
There is the PBMTE bit in MENVCFG, which I found while looking through the
zicbom-parts, which is supposed to "control wheter svpbmt is available for
use". So I guess the question is the same as above :-)
PBMTE bit in MENVCFG says if PBMTE bit is available or not. OpenSBI
needs other way to
detect if PBMTE is available.

That's why, I think MENVCFG should be set correctly by the hardware
upon reset. What do you think
about that ? I couldn't find anything related to the reset state for menvcfg.
me neither. Both the priv-spec as well as the cmobase spec do not
specifiy any reset-values it seems.

So I guess in the Qemu case, Qemu needs to set that bit when
its svpbmt extension is enabled?
