!!!

And these can't even be const without a cast.  Yuk.

(Not your fault though, but it would be nice to have a proc_dobool() to
avoid this.)

Do we expect this prctl to be applicable to other arches, or is it
strictly arm64-specific?

<bikeshed>

How do you anticipate these arguments being used in the future?

For the SVE prctls I took the view that "get" could only ever mean one
thing, and "put" already had a flags argument with spare bits for future
expansion anyway, so forcing the extra arguments to zero would be
unnecessary.

Opinions seem to differ on whether requiring surplus arguments to be 0
is beneficial for hygiene, but the glibc prototype for prctl() is

	int prctl (int __option, ...);

so it seemed annoying to have to pass extra arguments to it just for the
sake of it.  IMHO this also makes the code at the call site less
readable, since it's not immediately apparent that all those 0s are
meaningless.

</bikeshed>

(OTOH, the extra arguments are harmless and prctl is far from being a
general-purpose syscall.)

Having a "get" prctl is probably a good idea, but is there a clear
usecase for it?

(The usecase for PR_SVE_GET_VL was always a bit dubious, since the
VL can also be read via an SVE insn or a compiler intrinsic, which is
less portable but much cheaper.  As for the PR_SVE_SET_VL_INHERIT flag
that can be read via PR_SVE_GET_VL, I've never been sure how useful it
is to be able to read that...)
