Specify that chapter 27 refers to version 20191213 of the RISC-V ISA
Unprivileged Architecture. The chapter numbering differs across
specification versions - for example, in version 20250508, the ISA
Extension Naming Conventions is chapter 36, not chapter 27.

Historical versions of the RISC-V specification can be found via Link [1].
