So you basically get a full AVX-512/SVE level SIMD ISA, minus FP support and with 64-bit SIMD width. But you still have LMUL, which will be great here to maximize utilization.
How much of a thing is this in practice? To me this also feels driven by the expectations of the host towards the guests beeing fully accommodated by them. It's probably a mixture of both.
Like, I'm happy to bring my own food, when invited. E.g. I would presume most vegans would be cool with bringing their own or ordering, as you are used to that anyways.
Zba would probably give a small boost. Zbb gives a substantial boost to perf for applications that use clz/popc heavily, but I don't think that would apply to python.
SiFive only supports it in their new generation performance cores.
