I'm not sure that I like this patch to be honest. As far as I can tell,
every user here of has_vector(ext) is ZVE32X, so why bother actually
having an argument?
Could we just document that has_vector() is just a tyre kick of "is
there a vector unit and are we allowed to use it", and anything
requiring more than the bare-minimum (so zve32x?)must explicitly check
for that form of vector using riscv_has_extension_[un]likely()?
Finally, the in-kernel crypto stuff or other things that use
can_use_simd() to check for vector support - do they all function correctly
with all of the vector flavours? I don't understand the vector
extensions well enough to evaluate that - I know that they do check for
the individual extensions like Zvkb during probe but don't have anything
for the vector version (at least in the chacha20 and sha256 glue code).
If they don't, then we need to make sure those drivers do not probe with
the cut-down variants.
Eric/Jerry (although read the previous paragraph too):
I noticed that the sha256 glue code calls crypto_simd_usable(), and in
turn may_use_simd() before kernel_vector_begin(). The chacha20 glue code
does not call either, which seems to violate the edict in
kernel_vector_begin()'s kerneldoc:
"Must not be called unless may_use_simd() returns true."
What am I missing there?
Cheers,
Conor.

I find this to be an indicate of the new has_vector() being a poor API,
as it is confusing that a check
