Officially name the hypervisor extension "H"

Open a4lg opened this issue 1 year ago • 4 comments

Note that this is currently the initial proposal (draft).

It does not replace other references to

  • the hypervisor extension to
  • the "H" extension.

TODO List

  • [ ] Check whether the name "Standard Extension for Hypervisor" is okay.
  • [ ] Determine where to replace (to the "H" extension)
  • [ ] Actual replacement (or not)

Is this PR moving forward? I can help with the edits if they are approved.

@jhauser-us should approve or reject.

I think something like "Standard Extension for Hypervisor Support" would be a better name.

The title would be "H" Standard Extension for Hypervisor Support, then. Can you update the PR, @a4lg?

@aswaterman Sorry for late. I'm back and will work on it.

@a4lg Note that recently we decided to remove the word "Standard" from extension titles, so please make that change here, too. LGTM otherwise.

@aswaterman Thanks for letting me know (I was off for months and I'm glad to hear such changes to keep up).

Changed the commit title from "standard" to "base".

The use of the word "base" is likely non-canonical, but this is only in the commit title and still reflects the fact that this is the baseline for the hypervisor support (without some extensions expected to be implemented along with the base H extension).

Fine with me. We do not want "Base" in the chapter title, though, similar to how "Base" does not appear in the M-mode or S-mode chapter titles.
