Please explicitly say that this is the current *SVE* vector length,
given that with SME entering streaming mode means we have SVE registers
with the current streaming vector length which may be different to the
SVE vector length it is possible that someone may read the above as
referring to the vector length that applies to the current Z/P registers.
