Although kvm_arch_vcpu_load_fp() unconditionally sets KVM_ARM64_FP_HOST,
perhaps having kvm_arch_vcpu_load_fp() set KVM_ARM64_FP_HOST only when
FP is supported might be more consistent?
Then, checking system_supports_fpsimd() is unnecessary here.
(KVM_ARM64_FP_ENABLED is not set when FP is not supported)
Thanks,
Reiji
