Yo,

Kinda RFC as I want to see what people think of this.

This series is partly leveraging Clement's work adding a validate
callback in the extension detection code so that things like checking
for whether a vector crypto extension is usable can be done like:
	has_extension(<vector crypto>)
rather than
	has_vector() && has_extension(<vector crypto>)
which Eric pointed out was a poor design some months ago.

The rest of this is adding some requirements to the bindings that
prevent combinations of extensions disallowed by the ISA. I might have
gotten them wrong, but I have cited the bits in the documentation I used
for reference - so double checking shouldn't be /too/ difficult.

Cheers,
Conor.
