It is also nice to see a little RISC-V love.

"On RISC-V, an RVV-optimized implementation of memset has been added"

RVV is the RISC-V Vector extension. As RVV is part of the RVA23 profile requirements, I expect pretty much all 64 bit RISC-V chips to support RVV from now on. So this is an important optimization.
