I'm no longer a maintainer for this code, but FWIW I think that this
direction (adding a new argument to the internal APIs rather than
adding new internal APIs) is correct.

Because the sve bit must be _set_ to get the old/default behaviour, I
think the p2m_pt implementation should always return sve = 1 on _get
and possibly also assert sve != 0 on _set.

Cheers,

Tim.
