Compressed instruction extension has some specific overhead in small
RISC-V FPGA softcore, especialy in the ones which can't implement the
register file read in a asynchronous manner because of the FPGA
technology.
What are reasons to enforce RVC ?
Because it it the unix platform baseline as stated in the patch.
The same argument could be made for an FPU or MMU, yet there are options
to disable those.
