I think you can leave PERF_REG_ARM64_MAX alone and just add:

	PERF_REG_ARM64_VG = 46,
	PERF_REG_ARM64_EXTENDED_MAX,

no?

Is 'current' the right thing to use here? We pass the regs everywhere else,
so I'd prefer to stick with that if possible.

How does userspace know this capability is available? Should we advertise
the set of extended registers that we support, rather than make this a
one-trick pony for the vector length?

Also, you don't appear to #define PERF_REG_EXTENDED_MASK so I don't
understand how userspace is supposed to interact with this. Won't
has_extended_regs() always return false?
