With the introduction of SME we will have a second vector length in the system, enumerated and configured in a very similar fashion to the existing SVE vector length. While there are a few differences in how things are handled this is a relatively small portion of the overall code so in order to avoid code duplication we factor out We create two structs, one vl_info for the static hardware properties and one vl_config for the runtime configuration, with an array instantiated for each and update all the users to reference these. Some accessor functions are provided where helpful for readability, and the write to set the vector length is put into a function since the system register being updated needs to be chosen at compile time. This is a mostly mechanical replacement, further work will be required to actually make things generic, ensuring that we handle those places where there are differences properly.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
