Thanks for the work, I really like the idea. This will make it much
easier to maintain the instruction stuffs.

Not sure if I confuse something, but the spec says "C.LD is an
RV64C-only instruction". Why do we have 32 here?

Aren't these macro unused?

	   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
	   this name is misleading

Does the simplier
     formatted_inst_name=$(echo $name | tr '.' '_')
work?

Why is this required? Isn't this part always zero at this point?

Instead of panic(), can we do BUILD_BUG() instead?
