+Access to slices beyond the maximum vector length configured for the
+vcpu (i.e., where 16 * slice >= max_vq (**)) will fail with ENOENT.
+
+These registers are only accessible on vcpus for which SVE is enabled.
+See KVM_ARM_VCPU_INIT for details.
+
+In addition, except for KVM_REG_ARM64_SVE_VLS, these registers are not
+accessible until the vcpu's SVE configuration has been finalized
+using KVM_ARM_VCPU_FINALIZE(KVM_ARM_VCPU_SVE).  See KVM_ARM_VCPU_INIT
+and KVM_ARM_VCPU_FINALIZE for more information about this procedure.
+
+KVM_REG_ARM64_SVE_VLS is a pseudo-register that allows the set of vector
+lengths supported by the vcpu to be discovered and configured by
+userspace.  When transferred to or from user memory via KVM_GET_ONE_REG
+or KVM_SET_ONE_REG, the value of this register is of type __u64[8], and
+encodes the set of vector lengths as follows:
+
+__u64 vector_lengths[8];
+
+if (vq >= SVE_VQ_MIN && vq <= SVE_VQ_MAX &&
+    ((vector_lengths[(vq - 1) / 64] >> ((vq - 1) % 64)) & 1))
+	/* Vector length vq * 16 bytes supported */
+else
+	/* Vector length vq * 16 bytes not supported */
+
+(**) The maximum value vq for which the above condition is true is
+max_vq.  This is the maximum vector length available to the guest on
+this vcpu, and determines which register slices are visible through
+this ioctl interface.
+
+(See Documentation/arm64/sve.txt for an explanation of the "vq"
+nomenclature.)
+
+KVM_REG_ARM64_SVE_VLS is only accessible after KVM_ARM_VCPU_INIT.
+KVM_ARM_VCPU_INIT initialises it to the best set of vector lengths that
+the host supports.
+
+Userspace may subsequently modify it if desired until the vcpu's SVE
+configuration is finalized using KVM_ARM_VCPU_FINALIZE(KVM_ARM_VCPU_SVE).
+
+Apart from simply removing all vector lengths from the host set that
+exceed some value, support for arbitrarily chosen sets of vector lengths
+is hardware-dependent and may not be available.  Attempting to configure
+an invalid set of vector lengths via KVM_SET_ONE_REG will fail with
+EINVAL.
+
+After the vcpu's SVE configuration is finalized, further attempts to
+write this register will fail with EPERM.
