Description
[GlobalISel](https://llvm.org/docs/GlobalISel.html) is a new instruction selection that ultimately aims to replace both SelectionDAG and FastISel. Given that replacing FastISel use cases seems to be an initial focus for the GlobalISel effort, it's possible we can skip implementing FastISel altogether.

Research direction
Start with the linked GlobalISel documentation and compare its goals with the repository's current LLVM and Clang support. Determine which FastISel use cases this project needs to replace and define the required implementation scope. Done means the project has an agreed GlobalISel support plan or implementation, with validation identified for the affected RISC-V support.
