FYI, check_present() has changed a bit in the SVE v5 series [2].

The precise interface is still under discussion, so please take a look
and feel free to comment.

You'll probably need to tweak some things so that the KVM_GET_REG_LIST
output is consistent with the set of regs that do/don't yield -ENOENT in
KVM_GET_ONE_REG/KVM_SET_ONE_REG.

See other patches in the series for examples of how I use the modified
interface.
