SubjectRe: [PATCH] arm64: fpsimd: Added API to manage fpsimd state inside kernel
Hi Wooyeon,

There are a *lot* of people Cc' here, many of whomo will find this
irrelevant. Please try to keep the Cc list constrained to a reasonable
number of interested parties.

Please introduce the problem you are trying to solve in more detail. We
already have kernel_neon_{begin,end}() for kernel-mode NEON; why is that
not sufficient for your needs? Please answer this before considering
other details.

What do you want to use this for?

This patch adds no in-tree modular users of this, so per the usual
conventions, NAK to EXPORT_SYMBOL().

Thanks,
