Prohibiting the mixed width configuration is not a new constraint that
this patch creates (this patch fixes a bug that erroneously detects
mixed-width configuration), and enforcing symmetry of other features
among vCPUs is a bit different matter.

Having said that, I like the idea, which will be more consistent with
my ID register series (it can simplify things).  But, I'm not sure
if creating the constraint for those features would be a problem for
existing userspace even if allowing variation per-vCPU for the features
was not our intention.
I would guess having the constraint for KVM_ARM_VCPU_PSCI_0_2 should
be fine.  Do you think that should be fine for PMU, SVE, and PTRAUTH*
as well ?

Sure, I can fix the comment to use kerneldoc style.

I agree with you and will fix it.
(The ternary with 'allowed' was just copied from the previous patch,
  and I should have changed that in this patch...)
