I see what you mean. The integration of these bits into the RISC-V
priv spec has not happened hence we have the non-normative text
in the CMO specification. The bit positions in xenvcfg CSRs can't
change because it's already part of ratified CMO specification and
there are organizations (like Ventana) who have implemented these
bits.
