+Enables features on dom0 on Arm systems.
+
+*   The `sve` integer parameter enables Arm SVE usage for Dom0 domain and sets
+    the maximum SVE vector length, the option is applicable only to AArch64
+    guests.
+    A value equal to 0 disables the feature, this is the default value.
+    Values below 0 means the feature uses the maximum SVE vector length
+    supported by hardware, if SVE is supported.
+    Values above 0 explicitly set the maximum SVE vector length for Dom0,
+    allowed values are from 128 to maximum 2048, being multiple of 128.
+    Please note that when the user explicitly specifies the value, if that value
+    is above the hardware supported maximum SVE vector length, the domain
+    creation will fail and the system will stop, the same will occur if the
+    option is provided with a non zero value, but the platform doesn't support
+    SVE.
