This looks pretty clear now.

Since pointer auth implies v8.3 and v8.3 implies v8.1 and v8.1 implies VHE:

((system_supports_address_auth() || system_supports_generic_auth()) &&
!has_vhe()) implies that the hardware is broken or the kernel is buggy.

So, it probably makes sense to write

	if (!system_supports_address_auth() ||
	    !system_supports_generic_auth())
		return -EINVAL;

	if (WARN_ON(!has_vhe()))
		return -EINVAL;

This is not essential, and doesn't affect the ABI -- so we could apply
it on top later on.

[...]
