Subject: [PATCH v3 20/31] KVM: arm64: Clarify rationale for ZCR_EL1 value restored on guest exit
Date: Fri, 19 Apr 2024 08:59:30 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240419075941.4085061-21-tabba@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20240419075941.4085061-1-tabba@google.com>

Expand comment clarifying why the host value representing SVE
vector length being restored for ZCR_EL1 on guest exit isn't the
same as it was on guest entry.
