Just as for SVE, please first check that the system has PTRAUTH.
Something like:
(cpus_have_const_cap(ARM64_HAS_GENERIC_AUTH_ARCH) && \
((vcpu)->arch.flags & KVM_ARM64_GUEST_HAS_PTRAUTH))
This will save an extra load on unsuspecting CPUs thanks to the static
key embedded in the capability structure.
