The Linux kernel chooses the default of 64 bytes for SVE registers on the basis that it is the largest size on known hardware that won't grow the signal frame. We still honour the sve-max-vq property and userspace can expand the number of lanes by calling PR_SVE_SET_VL.
This should not make any difference to SVE enabled software as the SVE is of course vector length agnostic.
