Research direction
The issue names PowerPC e200 microcontrollers and variable-length instruction support, but it does not identify files, tests, or an entry point. Start by mapping RetDec's existing PowerPC and LLVM instruction-handling support and checking how VLE binaries are represented. Done should include implemented VLE support with coverage demonstrating correct handling of the relevant instructions.
