+Subject: [PATCH] Add ARCv2 ISA processors support to Zero
+
+This adds ARCv2 processors support in OpenJDK via
+"Zero Assembly Project" (see https://openjdk.java.net/projects/zero).
+
+That' a purely interpretive mode, so likely not that fast
+as JIT'ed version, but for starters it's much better than nothing.
+
+Once all the logistical problems are solved hopefully this
+change will be accepted upstream.
