Wow! Thanks for all of the work here! It's cool to see all of the excitement around POWER support!
Just to be clear, because I think it was a little ambiguous in other conversations, I'm very supportive of improving the POWER support in gem5 given that there are a significant number of people who want to use it. Not long ago, there seemed to be little interest in POWER from the community, which was influencing my push to limit the effort towards that ISA. A couple of notes: 1. Per Bobby's recent email, we are *planning* (though plans can always change) to mark a new gem5 release at the end of the month. In **one week**, we are planning to create the staging branch which is the time that no new features can be integrated for the release. If there's strong support in the community, we can hold off for the improved POWER support, but with all of the changes that need to be reviewed, it seems unlikely to happen in 1 week. I suggest improved POWER support to be a main feature of the next release (gem5-21.1 probably sometime in May or June). 2. Since we have a release coming up in 3 weeks, it is unlikely that I or my team will have much time to look at these changes. With our limited resources, we need to focus on finishing the features that we have started and the general stability of gem5. As I said, I'm very excited to see these improvements to gem5! And, I'm looking forward to seeing the community grow!
