Is sv64 defined yet? I thought it's just a placeholder. Anyway, I'd expect
it to be like sv57 and sv48 in that each narrower width must be supported,
which means sv39 would also still be supported, and that means the cpu
could be rva23. If, OTOH, an sv64 cpu cannot support sv39, then the cpu
cannot have both, so it cannot be rva23. IOW, as long as sv39 is _also_
supported, then sv64 is OK to select and still be rva23.

A and B are incompatible already if A is '-cpu rva23,sv64=on' and B is
'-cpu rva23,sv57=on', so the migration manager should already disallow
that.

Great, thanks!

Another comment I thought of later that I should have put in my original
reply is that we of course want 'max' to default to the widest QEMU
supports. Then, users that want to ensure they get sv57 or sv64 without
having to explicitly add it to their command lines can use 'max'.
Specifying '-cpu rva23' means you just want the mandatory base of the
given profile and if you want more than that then you need to append each
optional extension explicitly. If we don't have that documented somewhere,
then maybe we should, in order to help clarify the intent.
