The sve* features are incorrect as the the M4 does not implement SVE. I believe this is a kernel bug that requires https://web.git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=064737920bdbca86df91b96aed256e88018fef3a backporting (backports were done to 6.6, 6.12 LTS releases, but not to 6.8). There is a work-around, which is to disable SVE in grub, but really the kernel should get this right.
