Hi Julien,

Some minor nits in the description.

Unfortunately, the fields of ID_AA64ZFR0_EL1 are still exposed and could
lead to undefined behavior in userspace.

The kernel should not used the register when CONFIG_SVE is disabled.

s/used/use ?

Therefore, we only need to hidden them from the userspace.

s/hidden/hide ?

With the above:
