Does CLIC spec need to be re-organized to integrate into Priv ISA manual? #425

The CLIC manual is currently written as a stand-alone document but will need to be merged into the Priv ISA manual in the future. Does this mean the CLIC should just be one chapter in the Priv ISA manual? If yes, how do we handle the CLIC sub-extensions like the smclicshv and smclicconfig? Will they be a heading2 in the CLIC Priv ISA manual chapter? Or will they be their own heading1 chapter (like the CLIC itself)?

What will the top-level chapter for the smclic and ssclic be called? Other extensions like Smcsrind and Sscsrind are called the "Smcsrind/Sscsrind" extension (not singular).
