Conor left a comment over here 
<https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240510-zve-detection-v5-6-0711bdd26c12@xxxxxxxxxx/>.  
I think the best bet is to just merge this v5 on for-next now, though -- 
there's a bunch of patch sets touching ISA string parsing and IIUC that 
sub-extension parsing stuff is a pre-existing issue, and Clement's patch 
set still has some outstanding feedback to address.

So I think if we just go with this we're not regressing anything, we 
just have a bit more to clean up.  Maybe it's a little uglier now that 
userspace can see the sub-extensions, but I'd bet wacky ISA strings will 
be able to confuse us for a while.

I staged this so I can throw it at the tester, LMK if anyone has issues 
otherwise it'll show up on for-next.
