Hi,

this patchset converts the RISC-V decoder to decodetree in three major steps:

1) Convert 32-bit instructions to decodetree [Patch 1-14]:
    Many of the gen_* functions are called by the decode functions for 16-bit
    and 32-bit functions. If we move translation code from the gen_*
    functions to the generated trans_* functions of decode-tree, we get a lot of     duplication. Therefore, we mostly generate calls to the old gen_* function
    which are properly replaced after step 2).

    Each of the trans_ functions are grouped into files corresponding to their
    ISA extension, e.g. addi which is in RV32I is translated in the file
    'trans_rvi.inc.c'.

2) Convert 16-bit instructions to decodetree [Patch 15-17]:
    All 16 bit instructions have a direct mapping to a 32 bit instruction. Thus,     we convert the arguments in the 16 bit trans_ function to the arguments of     the corresponding 32 bit instruction and call the 32 bit trans_ function.

3) Remove old manual decoding in gen_* function [Patch 17-28]:
    this move all manual translation code into the trans_* instructions of
    decode tree, such that we can remove the old decode_* functions.

Thanks!

I dropped this on top of master and it appears I'm getting a bunch of oops when trying to boot Linux.  They're fairly far into the boot process and may be a mistake on my end, I was just wondering if you'd booted Linux?

Are there non fatal oops in booting Linux? I only checked whether I could get a terminal on Fedora Linux.

Cheers,

Bastian
