Is there a good reason to have an explicit hypercall vs trapping the host access to SVE and restoring in that event? It's quite easy to do trap handling at EL2 now and it could let things be even lazier, if that's any benefit in this case. Trapping seems to have had a bad rep in other conversations but I'm not sure the same reasoning applies to this as well, or not.
