[POSSIBLE RELEASE BLOCKER FOR GDB 13.1]

On the latest master, RISC-V simulator cannot run multiply instructions (but
CAN run division instructions).

I completely know the cause:
On the Binutils side, new multiply-only instruction subset extension 'Zmmul' is
being added.  I sent a patchset which spans *both Binutils and GDB* but *only
Binutils part is committed.*

This is the one (same but both to binutils and gdb-patches ML):
<https://sourceware.org/pipermail/binutils/2022-August/122653.html>
<https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2022-August/191295.html>

I'm proposing remaining part (GDB / simulator part) as a separate patchset but
there's no response from the GDB side...
<https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2022-August/191609.html>

Not being able to run the multiply instructions on the simulator is clearly a
release blocker for GDB 13.1.  So I'm reporting this to track this issue.

My copyright assignment to both Binutils and GDB is complete and I'm now even a
"write after approval" committer.  If a maintainer gives me an approval, I can
commit it in a day.
