Can you write a kernel patch / driver to trap the unsupported instructions and provide software implementations?

Rva20 lacks vector support and hypervisor instructions, among other things.

You’re welcome to put a ton of effort in for dogshit performance on a bunch or $35 SBCs but the rest of us will just upgrade

And don’t worry, some vendor won’t come in and magically save you - fedora is eyeing rv22 as their baseline.

Can you rephrase your answer in a way that isn't brutally and unnecessarily hostile?

Honestly, it's because of the "can you do a ton of unpaid work to support my niche, non-commercial application" attitude of the OP, which I find to be extremely distasteful.

It's something I deal with frequently. I should not have taken it out on OP and I agree I could have communicated that much better.

Unfortunately, I can't edit my post or I would rephrase it significantly.

Sorry to user "Levitating", I was being a dick.

I understood their "Can you" as "Can one [theoretically]", more on the curiosity side than on the entitled side.
