   That's meant to be handled by the RVA series of "profiles." Meeting an   
   application profile requires a specified set of extensions, with a   
   smaller set discoverable at run-time.   
      
   The latest profile is RVA23, which was ratified in October 2024.   
      
      
      
   I'm hoping that RVA24 will be ratified soon, and will contain the   
   extensions that the Android kernel team have been waiting for.
