Again, these chains are odd but a reflection of the series' history I
guess.

This likely will need to drop the static branch due to Jisheng's series.
See here for what the equivalent change to has_fpu() was:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230115154953.831-1-jszhang@kernel.org/
Hopefully that series has been queued by the time you are resubmitting
this one.

I'm not keen on these function names. IMO, they should be
riscv_v_{en,dis}able() to match other riscv specific functions, like
those of zicbom or sbi stuff.
Other parts of this series use riscv_v_foo & riscv_vfoo. Some of the kvm
bits spell out vector rather than v. Consistent naming of functions etc
would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Conor.
