On each vcpu load, we set the KVM_ARM64_HOST_SVE_ENABLED
flag if SVE is enabled for EL0 on the host. This is used to restore
the correct state on vpcu put.
However, it appears that nothing ever clears this flag. Once
set, it will stick until the vcpu is destroyed, which has the
potential to spuriously enable SVE for userspace.
We probably never saw the issue because no VMM uses SVE, but
that's still pretty bad. Unconditionally clearing the flag
on vcpu load addresses the issue.

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.
