Part of SSE and AVX instructions without the EVEX counterpart do not
support EGPR.
We are trying to prohibit EGPR usage under -mapxf in this RFC, but I
suppose it is not
realistic to disable them.

I'm a bit confused by "alternatives" here, did you mean the
alternative instructions
for all the non-EGPR SSE/AVX ones?

APX is a pretty big feature which contains several separate sub
features and takes a lot of
effort to implement. I suspect that only one release timeframe can
accommodate all of them.
I would prefer to split it into phases and implement it in GCC phase
by phase. Phase1 will
include the fundamental features, e.g. EGPR, NDD and PUSH2POP2. We
plan to implement
and land into GCC14 if it becomes good enough. Phase2 will include
CCMP/CTEST/NF
and target GCC15. The advantage is that interested users can use GCC14
and try fundamental
EGPR feature then.

Thanks, that could reduce much effort.

We have tried to find one but failed. We also want to know if there is
a better solution.
