Thanks. FWIW, in the Power.org ABI TSC there was a suggestion we should
work on updating the 64-bit ABI (for things such as VSX) having got the
32-bit one done, but nothing ever came of it. (There was some work on
adding VSX to the 32-bit ABI - on the vsx branch of
git://github.com/ryanarn/powerabi - though this tailed off without us
getting a 1.1 release out.)
