Unfortunately, Mateja, even after resolving patch application conflicts,
the code doesn't build.

For example, wrappers for many MSA instructions are missing, and
there are other problems too.

The patch needs a major amending and refactoring, which I will do
tomorrow, or in next few days, so that you can focus on your other
remaining tasks (for example, explaining "active_fpu" role from
another series, and big endian host MSA test failures).

The good thing is that we will eventually expand test coverage.

Thanks,
