Description
core::arch is missing RISC-V support, I'm specifically interested in adding support for the equivalent of rdtsc.
This was spun off https://github.com/rust-lang/stdarch/issues/40
It was mentioned there "We generally try to stick to vendor-specified intrinsics" which is an understandable but insurmountably heavy requirement.

Research direction
Start with the core::arch request and the spun-off stdarch issue #40; the payload names no specific file or test. The work needs maintainers to define the RISC-V intrinsic scope and acceptance criteria, with completion tied to agreed support for the equivalent of rdtsc.
