The v0.8 spec does define a VS bit in mstatus.

This allows reads of fflags when it doesn't exist, and hence does not make much sense. Instead of removing the code, you should add a check for the vector extension, since the vector extension requires that fcsr exist even if the base architecture doesn't include FP support. Ideally this should use the VS bit, but if you don't have it then you can just check to see if the vector extension was enabled as a command line option.

While the vector spec says that fcsr must exist, it doesn't specify that the FP fields in fcsr are necessarily readable or writable when there is no FP. It also doesn't specify whether the other FP related shadows of fcsr exist, like fflags. This appears to have been left unspecified. I don't think that you should be making fflags reads and writes work for a target with vector but without float. I think it would make more sense to have fcsr behave 3 different ways depending on whether we have only F, only V, or both F and V. And then we can support reads and writes of only the valid fields.
