Yesterday, I also wanted to unify the two instruction fix into
one. But that would need to roll back the
riscv_alternative_fix_auipc_jalr() to your v1 version. And IMHO,
it's better if you can split the Zbb string optimizations series
into two: one for alternative improvements, another for Zbb. Then
we may get the alternative improvements and this inst extension
series merged in v6.2-rc1.
