Note, on big-endian hosts the FPSIMD view Vn and the SVE view Zn[127:0]
of the FPSIMD/SVE common register bits has the opposite endianness for
SVE_{GET,SET}_ONE_REG.
This only matters if mixing the two views: just from this patch I don't
know whether this is an issue for QEMU or not.
The kernel and gdb were recently found to be broken in this regard for
userspace [1] but the KVM interface should be unaffected.
