I had a bit of trouble parsing this last sentence. I'd suggest rewording
it as "No additional register is created for the SET/GET_ONE_REG API,
instead just pass this parameter as a flag".

I'd suggest "then the KVM guest allows the execution of pointer
authentication instructions. Otherwise, KVM treats these instructions as
undefined."

Nit: I find the "allowed" a bit strange. Maybe something like
"kvm_arm_vcpu_has_ptrauth()" ?

Even if we don't have VHE?
