This should probably say "pointer", not "address" now, since we enable
both kinds of ptrauth together.  (Sorry!)

When discussing how to control SVE, I was eventually convinced that it
is more user-friendly to make SVE default to on if present, and maybe
provide two options --disable-sve, --enable-sve, in case the user wants
to force it off or on instead of just getting what the host supports.

Passing --enable-sve on a host that doesn't support SVE would then lead
to kvmtool bailing out with an error, which is probably better then
silently turning it off.

I don't have this change in my kvmtool patches yet.

What's your view?  It makes sense to do things the same way for all
features if we can.

(Note, 168 will probably be KVM_CAP_ARM_SVE, now that the SVE patches
are in kvmarm/next.)
