The virtualization section talks about virtualizing or emulating access to mconfigptr, but there is no concept of M-mode virtualization in the RV H extension. In a virtualized system, the guest only consists of S- and U-mode components (S mode running firmware and then OS). In a virtualized system, SBI is implemented by the hypervisor and no M-mode registers are modelled.

Thus I would either delete this section entirely or flatly state that UD does not concern with virtualization, e.g. a hypervisor would model the guest environment based on its view of the host envo, which it bases on DT/ACPI, not on UD data which it also cannot see.
