In order to give each vcpu its own view of the SVE registers, this
patch adds context storage via a new sve_state pointer in struct
vcpu_arch.  An additional member sve_max_vl is also added for each
vcpu, to determine the maximum vector length visible to the guest
and thus the value to be configured in ZCR_EL2.LEN while the is
"While the <guest> is active"?
Hmmm, yes.  Thanks for deciphering that.  Done.
I think it would be more consistent if you use "vcpu" over "guest". After
all ZCR_EL2.LEN is per vCPU.
Yes, that makes sense.  Done.

Cheers
