Just as an independent, up front remark after having looked at patch 16/17 of
the other series: Is a mere boolean going to suffice in the longer run? I could
see some extensions wanting exposing to only RV32 or only RV64 guests. E.g.
Zilsd is RV32-only, while Zqinx quite likely would want restricting to RV64.
