When is it convenient, and for what?

Certainly the only thing that we check after boot is the largest enabled vq not
larger than x.  And for that I don't see that sve_max_vq is relevant at all.

Oh, something that we should also think about is -cpu foo, where foo is one of
the Fujitsu thingumies.  We should be able to default sve_vq_map to that which
a real bit of hw actually supports.  I, for one, welcome our typedef long
overlords.  ;-)
