Subject: [PATCH v7 00/16] KVM: arm64: Optimise FPSIMD context switching

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 [2].

This series aims to improve the way FPSIMD context is handled by KVM.
Only minor changes have been made since the previous v6 [1], though
this posting does apply a couple of fixes.

The changes are summarised in the individual patches.

Reviewers please note:

 * Patch 6 is new, and does some minor refactoring to help fix an SVE
   context switching issue on the host, observed during stress-testing
   of v6 on an SVE-enabled model (the actual fix, using this
   refactoring, is incorporated in patch 8).

 * Patch 8 is missing Reviewed-bys/Acked-bys (thanks Marc, but I
   stripped yours in the end due to nontrivial changes.  Reviewer
   attention on these patches would be much appreciated.

Some testing done on Juno and the Arm fast model (arm64), including
combinations of (non-)SVE and (non-)VHE configurations.

Cheers
