As documented in issue C215 in the known issues list for DDI0487I.a [1] Arm will be making a retroactive change to SVE to remove the possibility of selecting non power of two vector lengths. This has no impact on existing physical implementations but most virtual implementations have implemented the full range of permissible vector lengths. Given how demanding fp-stress is for these implementations update to only attempt to enumerate the power of two vector lengths, reducing the load created on existing virtual implementations and only exercising the functionality that will be seen in physical implementations.

Applied to arm64 (for-next/kselftest), thanks!
