Now that the kernel SVE support is reasonably mature, it is excessive to default sve_max_vl to the invalid value -1 and then sprinkle WARN_ON()s around the place to make sure it has been initialised before use. The cpufeatures code already runs pretty early, and will ensure sve_max_vl gets initialised. This patch initialises sve_max_vl to something sane that will be supported by every SVE implementation, and removes most of the sanity checks. The checks in find_supported_vector_length() are retained for now. If anything goes horribly wrong, we are likely to trip a check here sooner or later.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
