It looks like CBZE didn't actually get ratified?  The CMO extension says

    _The CMO extensions rely on state in {csrname} CSRs that will be defined in a
    future update to the privileged architecture. If this CSR update is not
    ratified, the CMO extension will define its own CSRs._

but the privileged spec says

    The definition of the CBZE field will be furnished by the forthcoming
    Zicboz extension. Its allocation within `senvcfg` may change prior to
    the ratification of that extension.

Is there some ratified spec that actually defines this?
