This is not hard at all: see 27e64b4be4b8 ("regset: Add support for dynamically sized regsets") But since this is precisely what was ripped out, I guess adding it back may be controversial (?) > > Reported-by: Doug Anderson > Signed-off-by: Mark Brown > --- > We should probably also use the actual architectural limit for the > bitmasks we use in the VL enumeration code, though that's both a little > bit more involved and less immediately a problem.
