From: Jean-Philippe Brucker <redacted> Userspace must configure the SVE vector length before the Realm is created (as it is part of the parameter for Realm creation), but the Realm VCPUs cannot be finalized until after the Realm Descriptor has been created. KVM_GET_REG_LIST currently rejects the unfinalized VCPUs, which prevents the userspace from discovering and configuring the VLs for the Realm. Allow KVM_GET_REG_LIST for unfinalized RECs and make the SVE register enumeration handle the unfinalized case explicitly. i.e., only expose KVM_REG_ARM64_SVE_VLS before SVE is finalized. One adverse side effect of this change is that a KVM_GET_REG_LIST call that only probes for the array size will now succeed even if SVE is not finalized, but that seems harmless since the following KVM_GET_REG_LIST with the full array will fail.
