Thanks Arnaldo. It doesn't look like rk3399 has SVE, so
test-record-user-regs-no-sve-aarch64 will run to check that the kernel
won't give you the new register. So I suppose the answer to the question
is partially.

For test-record-user-regs-sve-aarch64, I've been running it on a
Graviton 3 on AWS which has SVE:
