Note: Most of these patches are Arm-specific. People not Cc'd on the whole series can find it in the linux-arm-kernel archive [3]. This series aims to improve the way FPSIMD context is handled by KVM. Only minor changes have been made since the previous v5 [1]. The changes are summarised in the individual patches. Patch 6 is new, and does some simple refactoring to enable new bits to be added to an existing vcpu_arch flags field. Patches 1, 2, 6, 7 and 14 are still missing Reviewed-bys/Acked-bys, so reviewer attention on these patches would be much appreciated. Some testing done on Juno and the Arm fast model (arm64), including (on earlier versions of the patches) combinations of (non-)SVE and (non-)VHE configurations.
