-We use the term ILEN to refer to the maximum instruction length supported
-by an implementation, which is always a multiple of 16 bits.  For
-implementations supporting only the base instruction set, ILEN is 32 bits.
-Implementations supporting longer instructions have larger values of ILEN.
-ILEN is implied from the set of extensions implemented, or can be
-explicitly defined in the platform configuration if an implementation is
-designed to support an extension that uses longer instructions via software
-emulation but does not actually decode longer instructions in hardware.

 We use the term {\em prefix} to refer to the bits to the {\em right}
 of an instruction encoding space (since RISC-V is little-endian, the
 bits to the right are stored at earlier memory addresses, hence form a
