Add sve_vl_bits field to arch_domain and xen_arch_domainconfig
structure, to allow the domain to have an information about the
SVE feature and the number of SVE register bits that are allowed
for this domain.
The field is used also to allow or forbid a domain to use SVE,
because a value equal to zero means the guest is not allowed to
use the feature.
When the guest is allowed to use SVE, the zcr_el2 register is
updated on context switch to restict the domain on the allowed
number of bits chosen, this value is the minimum among the chosen
value and the platform supported value.

I would actually expect that is_sve_domain() returns false when the SVE is not 
enabled. So can we simply remove the #ifdef?

I was tricked by it too, the arm32 build will fail because it doesn’t know 
ZCR_EL2

Ok. In which case, I think we should move the call to sve_restore_state().

I don't think Xen should "downgrade" the value. Instead, this should be the 
decision from the tools. So we want to find a different way to reproduce the value 
(Andrew may have some ideas here as he was looking at it).

Can you explain this in more details?

I would extend XEN_SYSCTL_physinfo to return the maximum SVE vecto length supported by the Hardware.

Libxl would then read the value and compare to what the user requested. This would then be up to the toolstack to decide what to do.

By the tools you mean xl?

I think libxl should do strict checking. If we also want to reduce what the user requested, then this part should be in xl.

This would be ok for DomUs, but how to do it for Dom0?
Then we should fail to create dom0 and say the vector-length requested is not supported.

Cheers,
