Well, whatever you're doing with it does not work, producing 3600 or so
fatal errors during compilation, all saying:
../arch/riscv/include/asm/checksum.h:14:10: fatal error: riscv_vector.h: No such file or directory

Do you have some makefile hack somewhere that's not part of this
patchset? Also, I'm dumb, but can you show me where are the actual
intrinsics are being used in this patch anyway? I just seem some
types & asm.

Thanks,
Conor.
