symptoms, you should assume that it is safe to say Y.
- CPUs that support SVE are architecturally required to support the
- Virtualization Host Extensions (VHE), so the kernel makes no
- provision for supporting SVE alongside KVM without VHE enabled.
- Thus, you will need to enable CONFIG_ARM64_VHE if you want to support
