[PATCH v6 0/4] KVM: arm64: Fix underallocation of storage for SVE state

As observed during review the pKVM support for saving host SVE state is
broken if an asymmetric system has VLs larger than the maximum shared
VL, fix this by discovering then using the maximum VL for allocations
and using RDVL during the save/restore process.

Fuad posted[1] another attempt to address this issues but as indicated
in review I have maintanability concerns since the VL configuration does
not follow best practices and the enumeration is not well integrated
with the rest of the enumeration code.

Changes in v3:
- Replace %u with %lu in late CPU error message.
Changes in v2:
- Downgrade check for a late CPU increasing maximum VL to a warning only
  but do it unconditionally since pKVM prevents late CPUs anyway.
- Commit log tweaks.
