From: Dave Martin <Dave.Martin@xxxxxxx> Correct virtualization of SVE relies for correctness on code in set_sve_vls() that verifies consistency between the set of vector lengths requested by userspace and the set of vector lengths available on the host. However, the purpose of this code is not obvious, and not likely to be apparent at all to people who do not have detailed knowledge of the SVE system-level architecture. This patch adds a suitable comment to explain what these checks are for. No functional change.
